Mo-mentum


On Monday, Mighty Mo started at a private school that goes from pre-K to 8th grade and has about 500 students. We are hoping that he will stay here until he goes to high school which starts in the 9th grade.

On Wednesday Mistress dropped Mo off for his third day of school at this new place. She was unable to get a hug or kiss from Mo because multiple groups of kids started rushing up yelling, "MO" and pulling him away to play with their group before class.

A bit disappointed she went to the office to sign him in and she was approached by teachers of all grade levels introducing themselves saying what a great kid Mo is and that they really like him, each giving a different anecdote about him.

Teachers up through the 7th grade have interacted with Mo during the first two days of a new school year?

Its surprising this has happened at such a bigger school but we saw the same thing at his last pre-school and really this is par for the course for his whole life. People are drawn to him with a gravity that I have never seen. His ability to interact with all groups and do so with such nice manners, his new teacher says he is the most polite kid in the class, is a blessing in our lives.

Go Mo!

That's not surprising at all, considering his parents!

He's awesome (it's in his genes).

How could anyone not heart the Mo?

I can believe that - I adore him and we've never even met. He is just so full of life and has such a huge personality. It comes through in pics. I hope I get to meet him when I come out for SOMA (hint, hint).

He's a testament to your parenting. A blessing, indeed.

Oh that must be so nice - as a parent, knowing your kid is so self sufficient is very reassuring. I think it means you've done a good job!

Mo's a rock star! Future class president, maybe.

It sounds like he makes a good impression on everyone he meets. That's a sign of good parenting and a good child.
