Interview with an (almost) First Grader

School Supplies labeled. Check.
Milk Card ordered. Check.
Volunteer sign ups. Check.
Emergency kit. Check.
Champagne chilling in the refrigerator. Check, check.
Tomorrow is the long awaited day of first grade. Long awaited by me anyway. Summer started out a bit rough but ended on a pretty good note. Today the boys got their back to school haircuts and Nate had his first (ever) soccer practice and scrimmage. Oh, you thought we were playing Fall basketball? We are. Only we don't have weeknight practices anymore. Don't ask me what we are going to do when we have dueling games on Saturdays.
So tomorrow begins First Grade. The grade with REAL desks, not just tables. The grade with REAL homework. Nate and I had a chat at bedtime about what he is thinking about first grade.
Name: Nate
Age: 6 1/2, well, almost
Shoe size: 12 1/2, but my soccer cleats are 13.
Teeth lost: 5, but trying to get out #6 before tomorrow
Most looking forward to seeing: Matthew, Cole, Nick, Samantha, Nathan
Most looking forward to what hot lunch: Popcorn chicken
Most looking forward to doing what on recess: Pokemon with Samantha
Best thing about first grade room: you get your own desk and it's closer to the bathroom than K
Best thing about summer: Playing Wii
The soccer get-up
I know someone who is going to be sad his brother is gone all day~!
