Me: "You can figure that out - what's two plus two?"
Luke: "Four"
Me: "Okay, so what's two hundred plus two hundred?"
Luke: "Four hundred?!"
Me: "Yes! There, you've already learned something as a first grader."
Then I asked him what he is most worried about and he said remembering his lunch code (he has to punch a 5-digit number into a keypad to pay for his lunch). He practiced the number briefly before we read at bedtime. I told him I bet he already has it memorized but he didn't think so and started to take the piece of paper out of his pocket with the number written on it. I stopped him and asked him to tell me the number - and he did. Then he said he'll probably forget it while he sleeps and I suggested he repeat the number over and over as he's falling asleep and then he'll know it in the morning. As I was leaving his room I heard him whispering it and then first thing after coming out of his room this morning he told me the number!
We had the smoothest morning EVER today. Both kids were in a great mood, ate a good breakfast and Audrey even got herself dressed with us only asking once. Crazy. I wish every morning were like this! We got to the school and took pictures by the sign, just like last year. I love the picture of the two of them. Hopefully the rest of his day goes just as well as the morning.
