The 2nd Day of First Grade

This is my conversation with my little first grader on the 2nd day of school…

Mom: “Hey bud, how was school today?”

Ty: “It was good. Mom do you know that she is going to make us do math tomorrow and I have to make a frog? Seriously Mom, I don’t even know how to make a frog.”

Mom: “Well, Don’t you think your teacher will help you?”

Ty: “Yes, she’ll help me. You know mom she is nice. She’s nice like Mrs. R.”

All I could so was laugh – especially when he said, “Seriously Mom.”

First Grade

The school year is right around the corner. I am full of mixed emotions; mostly excited for Ty. He is playing football again this year and loving it. However, he feels he doesn't need to go to practice because, "Mom, I know how to play the game."

As for me, if you want to play you got to practice!"
