A Milestone Day

Yesterday was Elliott's 47th day of school.  In that time, he has had a smiley face every day, he has visited the treasure chest 3 times, and he has been absent 3 times.  But yesterday was super important for 2 reasons:

1. It was the first morning he ate breakfast at home before school.  His nerves have not allowed him to do that at all since starting big school.  He repeated this feat this morning.
   
2. It was the first time - since day 3 when things went awry - that he ate his entire sandwich (or both dinosaurs as he says) at lunchtime in the cafeteria.  He has been eating one half/one dinosaur, then eating the other one in the car when my mom picks him up.

Wow.  Much like daycare, it took him ~8 weeks to get his grip.  I guess this means 8 weeks is now a constant, not an outlier.  Sigh.
