Tomorrow is Quinn’s first day at his new school. Thor and I actually got a jumpstart by attending their big annual auction fundraiser on Friday night. The welcome we received from the other parents from Quinn’s class was incredibly warm and quite surprising. And it was a fun party to boot. We heard from several parents that their kids were prepped and excited for Quinn’s arrival and had been working on Welcome cards for him. We’ve been prepping Quinn for his first day, but it hadn’t occurred to me that his class would be getting prepped as well. I was really touched.

We took him out to get a new lunch box today. The “Thomas the Tank” one caught his eye first but we managed to distract him with a retro mars landing one instead. Is it wrong to desire good taste for your child? Wait, don’t answer that. Besides it was bigger and will fit his sippy cup better.

He was so excited when he went to bed tonight. Heck, I’m excited. I feel like it’s my first day.
