Today was an emotional day.
For everyone but Luke. For some reason the first day of first grade is so much worse for me than the first day of kindergarten. The day isn't any longer and it isn't a new school, but for some reason it feels so much more official than just last year.
The really sad one today was poor Derek. I was a very inadequate substitution for his big brother, which he let me know in no uncertain terms. When I told him it was time to go get Luke he took off running to the garage yelling "Yay! Time to get Luke!"
When we got there to pick him up the first thing Luke said was "Can we stay for a few more minutes?" Then: "My teacher said I did really well!"
And my favorite from the day, "I'm so sweaty I'm going to have to change my underwear!"
