Today was Ethan's first day of first grade. Although he was excited to start, we could tell he was a little bit nervous too. And although we should be pros at this from all of our experiences with sending him off to school last year, Rebecca and I were a little nervous too. Luckily, his big sister Julia (7) was there to help. On the ride to school this morning I heard her making plans with Ethan about how they can say hi at lunch and where they could meet during recess time. When we got there, she also reminded him of some of the school rules (i.e., taking your hood off in the building). She then took him by the hand, helped him say hi to his new teacher (she was in her class last year), and led him to the spot where he was supposed to line up.
Julia is my superhero today for helping out her brother on his first day of school.
