look Ma, no shoelaces

The midget's first day of real school was Tuesday of this week. Tried to get all the requisite ducks in a row to have him adequately prepared and ready to hit the ground running. Even woke up mad early. But alas, the one thing I didn't expect to happen in fact did go down. He was shook.

All the other mini-me's were seemingly cool. But no...ole boy wasn't feeling the new environs. Who are all these people in yellow shirts. The look on his face was classic. You could tell he was building up towards something. What; I wasn't sure. Thought he'd be all set once he sat at his desk and started being busy. But homie was having none of that. In retrospect, it was pure comedy. But at the time, it was a bit gut-wrenching. But so goes life. All in all, he finally calmed his nerves and did ok on his first day.

Now it's time for him to be immersed in a full day of learning, activities, games, other children, and speech therapy to help build upon his foundational skills and improve his weaknesses, namely in his enunciation. So hopefully we'll be able to continue practicing and puting to good use some of the materials and resources I've been collecting. Time will tell. But for now, I'll just sit back and enjoy the newness of it all.
