First Day of School

Today was Jack's first day of school. He had no hesitation whatsoever. In fact, Ryan was hanging around and Jack gave him another kiss and said, "ok daddy goodbye." This year he wears a uniform. On dress days, he is supposed to wear a tie. Jack can't wait to wear a tie so that he can look like Daddy. There were two mini-orientation days last Thursday and Friday and Jack went to visit his new classroom for an hour each day. On Friday, the teacher said Jack was "hilarious" and "very strong." I didn't get a chance to ask what made her say that but I wonder if they were related. :) Jack grew over 2 inches this summer. He wears a size 11 1/2 shoe and a size 6 clothing. He even grew a quarter of an inch in 9 days. I now recognize that when he is very aggressive that a growth spurt usually follows. There was one day where I said, "Jack, don't chase the dogs with the chainsaw," "When Cocoa growls, that means STOP!" "If you run your truck into the wall again, I will throw it away." :)
