School starts this year at 9:00 instead of 8:00 like last year, so we had lots of time to kill before school started. Sam is excited that all but one of his good friends from his kindergarten class are in his first grade class.
We actually paid money for a back to school haircut (instead of mom using the clippers at home). About the only way we could get Sam to agree to the haircut was to promise him that he could have "spikes" on top. The hairstylist spent lots of time and did a great job with his cowlicks. I went to Dillons last night to look for pomade that would produce the desired spiking effect. I wasn't sure where to look, spent some time in the "ethnic hair care" section, before finding a tube of "spiking paste." It did the trick. We'll see if it lasts all day.
Sam started some new traditions today. A caramel long john from Quik Trip (his favorite) for breakfast, and after school we will head to Panara to get a chocolate chip cookie and then to Texas Roadhouse for supper. After today, it will all become mundane, but for today, we'll celebrate.
