Today was Ro’s first day at his new school. We were worried that he would be very sad, but he instantly fit in the new group and had fun.

I went to check on him twice throughout the day. The first time he was reading a book happily sitting in a circle with the other kids waiting for lunch to be served. Luckily they had his most favorite dish: meatballs!

Then in the afternoon he had computer time and he learned how to use the mouse while playing easy coloring games. I sat with him for 10 min, but he wouldn’t let me have the mouse so I left again 😉

Later in the afternoon they had “animal day” and they brought in reptiles from a local zoo – “Dragon and Snakes” as Ro said :-). Ro was the only kid in his class who was courageous enough to carry a snake around his neck. They said it was a Python (non poisonous, but very strong), and it sort of looks like one, but I’m having a hard time believing it…maybe a good thing I wasn’t there 🙂  Also note in the other picture how old the other kids were who dared to touch the big snake! Looks like he’s off to a great start at the new school. Mommy and daddy are proud and relieved:
