You can't see it on his face because he was disinterested in documenting this historic day, but Sam was VERY EXCITED for school. There was a "meet & greet" at his school the day before, so we got to meet his teacher and see his new classroom. He was moderately interested in his teacher and very interested in finding his name all over the classroom. First grade teachers are smart! Put a kid's name on a few bulletin boards and he feels like a superstar.Last year we lived two blocks from school and walked Sam every day. Here he gets to ride a school bus. Mom is happy about this (convenient!) and Sam is super happy about this. He wanted me to ride with him the first day and I thought he might be stressed when it was time to get on the bus, but the driver is warm and confident and has assigned seats for all the kids. She instructed him to go to seat 21 and off he went. He came home happier than he left. Good, good, good. Thank you, God.

Fantastic news that Sam is off to a good start at his new school! Sounds like his teacher and bus driver are real pros. He looks super cool with his Hot Wheels backpack.
I love how your kids have adopted being superheroes as part of the daily routine.
I love this post--you captured so much of the emotion I remember on the first day of school. So glad that Sam is so happy.
I love Batman too!
