Vraiment incroyable (truly incredible)

OK. So I was clearly overreacting and overemotional and over-everything. We arrived a little early to pick Jack up at school for lunch, so I listened at the door a bit. At one point, I heard the teacher call on Jack. He answered (correctly, I assume, because she said "tres bien, Jacques"). And when he came out, he had a smile on his face.

It was all just fine. He did great. She came out and said "il apprend tres vite!" (he learns quickly!) and that he did very, very well. She said she is letting him print his work (glad she didn't make him use cursive, as we only worked on writing "c", "o", and "a" last night while recognizing all the others) but that she is glad he is working on it at home.  And she said she'd be interested to hear what he thought of the class.

He said it was great. Hard at times, but mostly good, and he was pleased that he received 4 out of 10 on the dictee (the spelling test, with words he had never seen or studied before), and pleased that he understood a lot of what the teacher said. The kids were nice, the teacher was nice, and he thought it was a great first day.

Whew.

We celebrated by going to a park the girls had seen in the village with the amazing boulangerie. It was a bright, sunny day and all three had a great time being outdoors. We grabbed some quiches and other snacks at a charcuterie and then took Jack back to school nearly two hours later.

He amazes me.

He also said he was glad it was the weekend after today!
