What a Handsome Little Devil

Ben's first day of second grade. I am still as protective of him as the day he went to kindergarten. I worry and worry. I don't know why. He has always shown me he can handle things. Anyway, he went back to Lincoln Elementary where he went in kindergarten. I was unsuccessful at getting him into the other school. That's a long story. I am sure he will do just fine at Lincoln anyway. He is just happy to be back surrounded by kids all day. He is funny. Last year we created a little tradition on the way home from school. I would say,"So, Ben, do you want to tell me about your day?" He would always say yes. I would turn off the radio and listen to him talk all the way home. This year, I am not working so we don't have the long drive home. . . but the first thing he said when he got in the van on the first day was "Let me tell you about my day." I am glad that tradition is holding strong.
