Taking School By Storm

The Hurricane hit his school full force today "graduating" from the Duckling class to the Busy Bunny class. Well, they've got the busy part right.

Last year, he was only a tad bit beyond clueless on the first day of school. He didn't really know where he was. He barely even knew who we were.

This year, he woke up bright and early, went straight for his shoes, grabbed them, shoved them in my direction and said "Shoes!" like a diva demands diamonds.

He then stopped...he never stops...looked at me sheepishly and said, "I go to school today?" Yes, our non-talker talked. He was that excited about school.

But the stopping didn't last long. We quickly got ready (chanting school! school! school!), made our way up the street, and he literally RAN! (that's right, RAN!) in. He went straight into his new class, made his way to the play kitchen station, picked up a plastic banana and started eating it.

And then it really started. The year officially began when grabbed a Busy Bunny Class hottie and kissed her right on the mouth. He was that excited about school.

It's going to be an interesting year.

And speaking of learning and kissing and kids growing up way too fast, I reviewed a smart book...Girlology: Hang-Ups, Hook-Ups and Holding Out...over at Cool Stuff today. Check it out. It's a really good book. And there's a giveaway. Plus, a few 1980s references. What more could you want? Really.
