First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for our oldest grandson.  He is now living with my oldest son and he has really been looking forward to today.  His Mom had been home schooling him and he was really worried about whether he had learned enough to be placed in the 9th grade.  The counselor being the great lady that she is told him she could put him in the 9th grade but he might have a lot of problems keeping up or she could put him in the 8th grade where she thought he would do well.  He told her 8th grade would be fine it would give him a chance to catch up with his class.  I talked to him for a while this evening and he said he really liked it and he had made several friends. His uncle ask him what was the best part of the day and he said school starting.  I am so glad that he is excited about school and learning.  The class sizes are small and with his willingness to learn he will do well. With his aunt and uncle as his guide he will go far!
