First day of school! First day of school!

Yep, it all began again on Monday. The boys are finally in the same school again, which is great and Connor is thrilled to be at the same place as Jamie. As often, there was much grumbling about it. Jamie is not so much anti-school as he is pro-summer, so he resents school as the end of the happy-time. For his part, Connor tends to go along with whatever Jamie says, so he's adopted the "we don't like school" party line as well. But for all of that they've both done. Jamie periodically slips and admits to having had a pretty good time, especially being back with his buddies.

The only thing with Connor is that he continues to prefer trying to hang out with Jamie's friends to making his own. There is a very sweet boy who is in Connor class and on his baseball team, who, Connor tells me, "wants to be his friend." But Connor claims to not like him. The other morning we were getting out of the car to walk into school and this boy passed and said with a great big smile "Hi Connor!" Connor just scowled. Sigh. They're always a little grumpy in the morning but really.
