Anthony

also had conferences on Friday...he didn't skip into the building like his little sister had earlier.
He approached with the wiseness of one who has done this before. As we waited to meet his teacher he checked out his new surroundings, this year moves him to a new part of the school, and cautiously approached his room and new space. He is my one who takes things slowly. Making sure he is comfortable in his surroundings before truly relaxing and allowing himself to enjoy. He had to take a reading test and was rewarded with a pack of gum, which generated a big smile. No smiles when he heard there would be homework. As we drove home he chatted about how cool it was that he could have a water bottle at his desk, and that his teacher knew Beckie, Josh, and Cassandra. Wonderful to see the big smile on his face as we drove home, a great replacement to the serious look I had viewed on the way to school.
