The reason I didn't have Damon start school today is because I wanted to personally give him a tour of his new school. I had gone to the school the a couple of weeks before and sat down with the assistant principal and she took me on a tour of the school. I told Damon what we were going to do and he was pretty excited about going in. We stopped by his soon to be classroom and met his teacher and some of the kids. He was very shy and kind of hid behind me. Like me, Damon does not like it when all the attention is on him. ;) Then we went into the gym and Damon really liked that. Damon's cousin Aden already goes to this school so Damon asked to see Aden. The assistant principal took us to Aden's class which was a nice surprise. He ran over and gave Damon a hug. I got some of Damon's uniform...oh did I mention the kids wear uniforms? Yeah, they are so cute. The boys wear khaki's or blue pants with a green, white or blue polo shirt and the emblem of the school on it. Boys can also wear plaid ties. The girls mostly wear their plaid skirts. Anyway I got a few shirts for Damon at the school and I bought him a Rollie Pollie. It is kind of like a cover for his cot except it is fleece so very soft and warm with a built in pillow. We got him a green one since his cousin has a blue one. I am going to have it embroidered with his name.
Aden's class and Damon's future class were about to go on the playground for recess so I let Damon go out there with the kids and Aden while I "interviewed" Damon's teacher. I just asked her a series of questions-nothing major. When it was time to go I called my cousin Christina and asked if it was okay that I go ahead and take Aden home with me. She said yes so I loaded the boys up in the car and we went to the playground. They really enjoyed themselves and I think that was a great kickoff to Damon starting his new school tomorrow. We'll see...
