one down

we finally have a kindergartener. he got very nervous in the car so mama walked him alone to the class line.
 he was so stinkin' nervous, but so excited too.
 here he is finding his name tag. all by himself.
sniff, sniff.
 i saved the waterworks for this. all the big guys from preschool are now the babies again.
his teacher is mrs. bender and he loves her and loves school. his favorite parts are "recess, snack, gym, art, choice time, library and music class". and i've learned two things
1. he's super wiped out from all the learning
2. we should sign up for another art class.
 it rained on the first day so these guys broke in their new raincoats. and boots. lots of tears. one guy doesn't like socks or zippers. handful.
 they have started a pre-pre-school class. lots of art, and story time and run around time.
(don't get excited...it's not drop off)
painting flowers.
 but we also had orientation for their real pre-school which they will start on january 4.
 its the same school matt spent the last year. so they have been dying to get in and play. no worry they will suffer from separation anxiety.
 post-orientation walk with some familiar faces. 
 we had a great, long, hot, fun summer. light on blog pictures, but heavy on making memories. will try to catch up soon.
