Well, DS had a good first day. I was really encouraged when his teacher greeted me when I dropped him off and told me that she was "so glad" to have DS in her class. That's what I was really hoping for--that he would have a teacher who welcomed him.

I am so glad that the teacher offered those few simple words. IMO, it makes all the difference when the teacher actually wants the child. I hope the 2nd day of 2nd grade goes just as smoothly.

I'll keep you posted, but hopefully there will be nothing dramatic to post.

I was wondering how it was going for your DS, Dottie. So it seems like a good fit for him? Thanks for the update! I like keeping up with "our" kids.

Glad it went well, Cathy! I think my DS6's first day of 2nd went okay - what little I can squeeze out of him in conversation  He did say that a lot of the other kids already knew each other so he hasn't really engaged much with the other kids - but I'm not sure I should be concerned at this point about it... He said it didn't bother him...

Oh, I just noticed your post Dottie. I'm happy this year is much less chaotic for your DS and that you've made leaps and bounds with the support. It's nice to see that advocacy pays off in the long run

I'm glad DD13 is doing well with your DS's skip, too, Dottie. I know that was a concern, and I'm happy it doesn't seem to be a problem. Yay! I love it when a plan comes together!

I think it's a very good solution, and I really hope it continues to work well. A few snide comments are to be expected. Heck, kids who don't accelerate are liable to attract a few of those! That sounds like business as usual to me. Nothing of concern whatsoever. And that's good news. I like good news!

LOL! They'll always be our babies, won't they?  That's okay by me!

Update: DS reports that kids kept asking him how old he is. He told them 5 1/2 but they said, "No, you're not!" and insisted that you have to be at least 6 to be in 2nd grade. His solution? He said, "Oh, I was just kidding. I'm 6 1/2." That seemed to satisfy them. He told me this kind of sheepishly on the way home from school as if he thought I would be upset about him lying. But I said that how old people are isn't that important, so if he wants to tell them he's 6 1/2, it doesn't matter to me. I don't know if that was the right thing to say or not, but it seemed like the right thing at the time.

I think it's fine. The day after DS12 turned 4, someone asked him his age -
"I'll be 5 on my next birthday."
He started fibbing about his age soon after that - IF he thought he could get away with it.

Good. I feel better about it. Lying wouldn't occur to me, and I'm a terrible liar, but if it works for DS, I guess that's ok.
