A Great First Day!

Kyle started kindergarten today. Can you believe it??? My baby, in kindergarten! He was really excited to go though. We had open house night last Thursday and he got to take in all his supplies, meet his teacher, see his classroom, etc. After that he couldn't wait to start. We also found out that the neighbor boy that he hangs out with will be in his class. That helped make him feel more comfortable about going too.

Dropping him off this morning was hard. They don't allow parents to walk the kids to their rooms so we all just take turns driving up and dropping them off. Then a teacher's aide or teacher walks them to their room. I did fine until Jenevieve and I were driving away and she asked where "her Kyle" was going. I got choked up as I told her that he was going to kindergarten. :(

But, on a posative note, picking him up was wonderful! His teacher walked him to the car door and said that they had a great first day! To which Kyle responded, "I had so much fun!" Made my day! He said that they had to write their name and draw a picture of themselves, he told me about lunch time and said that he sat with the neighbor boy at lunch, and told me all about P.E. class. After I picked him up I took him to get an ice cream cone at the Dairy Treat and then we headed home for him to watch a movie that I'd gotten at the library. I came in here to start editing the pictures I took of him and called out to him. After getting no verbal response I went to check on him and...he's asleep on the couch! lol I guess kindergarten tuckered him out.

Hopefully tomorrow will go just as well for him and he'll continue to like school. Keep your fingers crossed!
