As we were getting ready for school, Dane said to me, "Mom, I am ready for my first day of school, but are you really going to wear that rose bush outfit?" 

My first thought was, "Oh my gosh, I am already starting to embarrass him.  This is too soon!  Take a deep breath Holly and stay calm!" 

I replied, "Um, well, is this ok? Should I change? " 

He said, "I guess it is fine..."   

Phewwww, thank goodness!!!!!

 

Ha ha ha ha ha.  All I can do is laugh about it, right!!!!!

After we got to school, I realized he was supposed to be in his formal dress uniform for Mondays, so I had to run upstairs to the clothing room and get him a white shirt and vest.  I couldn't be the staff member who doesn't follow dress code!!!!!

Best buds!

 

Dane didn't even say goodbye to me.  He told me he knew where he had to go since he had been there before, and he ran right into the classroom and plopped down.  (sniffle, sniffle)  I snuck in and gave him a kiss goodbye anyway.

 

Their pet fish is in the middle.  I still don't know what the name is.  Dane told me they got to choose it, but he told me Goldilocks, Mary, Karen, and Goldie.  Must be one of the four names.
