first day of school

ah, the first day of school for tyson was last week. he's the big 4th grader now.
oh, and what's this? eli thinks it's a good idea for tyson to bring a 1:12 scale trash truck to school on the first day...just in case.
disappointment sets in when eli finds out that small trash trucks don't really have much use in a 4th grade classroom.
such disappointment, in fact, that eli later decides that he should stuff himself into this box and stay there. isn't 4th grade a bummer??
