School Days

Ollie had his first day of school on Monday! He was very excited!! He was nervous about things for a few weeks before. Every time he told me something that he was nervous about we talked about it.
The night before school started he suddenly got upset and said, "What if my teacher asks me to draw a guitar? I've never drawn a guitar before." He really thought he needed to practise drawing a guitar. Spencer and I just chuckled and then assured him that his teacher was not going to ask him to draw a guitar on the first day of school.
Monday morning we woke him up and he was just super excited! He was all ready to go and learn. We all went to the school to drop him off. Aunt Ellen was also able to come which pleased Ollie. We walked him into the school to his classroom. He just walked right in. I had to tell him to come back out because I wanted a picture in front of his classroom. Then he want back in and just smiled at me and said, "Bye" in a very cheerful voice.

When I picked Ollie up Monday afternoon he was very disappointed. I asked him what he did at school... He told me that all they did was learn rules and they "didn't do math or anything." I think he was expecting it to be more academic. On Tuesday he liked it a little better. He told me they didn't spend as much time learning rules but he couldn't tell me what they did do???? Trying to get information out of a little boy is like pulling teeth! He does really like PE and he wishes that he could read books during their rest time. I'm sure once he makes friends he will have more fun. :)
