Hey, Widget, how was your second day of first grade?
Fine.
No, really, on a scale of 1, meaning terrible, to 10, meaning awesome, how was it?
Ten!
he joyfully shouted, as he raced off to play with his little brother after school.
I could not be happier.

Hip Hip Horray! Awesome!
Yay! 10 10 10 10 10! It’s what we all want to hear. So glad there is school happiness in your house.
Fantastic. Doesn’t get any better than that.
That’s what makes any mother happy! 🙂
Sounds like he’s off to a great start. As a teacher and a mother, I know how important those moments are!
HOORAY! Susan, your joy is palpable – and you so richly deserve it. May God bless your whole family with “10s!”
remember the old sesame street numbers segment where the numbers came forward on the screen until the big finish? That’s all I can think of — “Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten, Let’s sing a song of Ten. How many is Ten?” Hooray for Widget!!!! I told you his teacher is awesome!
Yea!
I am so happy for you Susan! You deserve it.
