First Day of Big Boy School

Elio started at Nalia's school this week!  He was proud to be going to the big boy school, and to show his excitement for the occasion, he decided to wear all orange, his favorite color.  Orange shorts, orange shirt, orange jacket and orange shoes.  He picked it all out the night before, and Nalia helped him to carefully lay the clothes out on a chair.
I was a bit worried Elio would be shy or react negatively to the change because he usually doesn't roll with changes very well in life, but he marched right into his classroom and started playing.  His teacher's name is Miss Mildred.  She is a young Filipina lady.  When Elio got home from school, I asked how he liked Miss Mildred and he answered that he loves her.
We're also enjoying Tio Mark's visit.  He was able to come to the beach with us last weekend and we had a great time.
