A Second Day of Firsts

Yesterday was Joey's first day in first grade and he loved it, but even more firsts happened today that excited him! He lost his first tooth which he has been anxiously wiggling for days anticipating its loss. Finally, the tooth fairy has reason to visit! At bedtime, Joey softly whispered to the tooth fairy to remind her that he had hidden something under the pillow for her. Luckily she was listening-Joey heard her twinkle:)
Because of the extreme Cincinnati weather-100 degrees+- school was dismissed early for the students (poor me, I had to work), so Joey got to ride a school bus to Granma's and Grandpa's house! He seemed a little nervous, but I explained to the bus driver ( a perk for me) where the drop should be made, and Joey seemed to feel much better. It was a long day, but Joey still had soccer practice. He really loves the activity, wants to learn, and is looking forward to his first game on Saturday.
Tomorrow is another early dismissal-it's supposed to be really hot, so after work we will be hitting the water somewhere!
