First Day of School

Well, he survived.

And so did his parents.

Today was NJ's first day of first grade - real school.

He's got science lab, social studies, the whole thing.

And... he's riding the bus.

He apparently had a relatively stress-free day in class.  It helped that one of his buddies, Derrick, is in the same class.  There is also apparently a pretty girl named Christina ("I liked her name, but she didn't sit at my table," NJ told me wistfully... Yeah, get used to it kid.  That's why you gotta walk around a little bit and... visit other tables!)

Anyway.

He also managed to navigate taking the bus for the first time ever, by himself.  And there were transfers both going and returning to the bus stop!

No problem for NJ.

Even though Mommy tried to pick him up in the wrong line and, after a minor panic attack, figured out that the bus dropped off at a different traffic circle!

Anyway, all's well that ends well.

And today his executive functioning seemed to be adequate, if not superb.

More to come.

Peace.
