Call it a perk of school vacation or call it a dad just trying to exploit his child to help out at his work. Whatever you want to call it, the kid still had fun
When I got Evan on the phone this morning I was expecting a happy little 6-year-old excited to go to the first day of school. Instead, I was informed I was supposed to be there watching him get on the bus.
He lost two teeth, played in a t-ball game, sang in a school concert and took the first jump into the pool this year. He's Evan Almighty and he's not afraid of anything! In fact, he let his Auntie Chelle pull out his first tooth like a champ without hesitation! Holy crap, Batman! I could never do that when I was a kid!
In a terrific ceremony this afternoon, I got to see my grandson, Evan, get the Student of the Month Award at Windsor School. I am very impressed with the reputation of this school. The caring and nurturing of the kids was evident from the moment the principal, Maggie Allen, began speaking.
It doesn't seem like it's been that long since Matt was getting ready for his first day of Kindergarten. It's been about 22 years, though. Today marked a bittersweet milestone for Matt as he put HIS little boy on the bus for the first time. How is that even possible?
