He was so happy, before and after, and reportedly had a great day (even though he caught a ball with one of his eyes at recess and got to visit the nurse on his 1st day)!
"Playin' on the playground" was still his favorite part of the day.
He also sang his new hello song to me (while I tried to brush his teeth for bed... timing...)
And he informed me that he already knew how to count to 1, even before his first day of Kindergarten. And that his favorite number is 10, because it's very big. I told him he was very smart.
Last night he told us "Well, my new school doesn't have as many toys as Building Blocks". Stan and I explained that's because he will be doing lots more learning at this school - like learning to read. Stan asked him if he knew what he could do when he learns how to read "what?" Alex said, eyes perked "you can read instructions, so you can build things". That seemed to console him.
