Great First Day!

Joseph really enjoyed his first day of school. He even enjoyed riding the bus home (his choice). There is a boy in his class who speaks Russian. His parents speak it and have taught it to him, they speak it at home. What great luck that he is in 4th grade at Joseph's school right?!?! So the teacher sat Joseph at his table but after today she said she will have to split them up. Apparently they talk too much (in Russian). I am sure the little boy, David, is happy to have another kid to speak Russian with and I know Joseph is happy to get to speak some Russian. They will just have to save their Russian conversations for recess and lunch! Keith met him at school for lunch (at 12:45) which was a surprise to Joseph. The only problem... by lunch time, Joseph had eaten nearly everything I had packed him for lunch! He had a quarter of a sandwich and a peach left, that was it! I think tomorrow I will pack him lunch again with just a little bit more food (although today's should have been more than enough!) and I will send him with a water bottle tomorrow. He is just going to have to learn that if he eats all of his lunch before lunchtime then he just won't have lunch! He will have to learn to pace himself with food. But we are ever thankful that he had such a great first day.
