Kindergarten!

Today is Brett's first day of Kindergarten.  He is soooo very excited.  He's been talking about it all week!  They only go a half day today, so he got to pick a snack to bring and then he'll eat lunch at home.  Plus, they only have a third of the class there at any given time this week, so it will hopefully make things a smooth transition.

On the way there this morning he tried to convince me to drop him off at the sidewalk and let him walk in.  Thankfully, we're not allowed to do that on the first day :)  We'll cross that bridge next week when we have to use the carpool line!

I'm so glad to see him eager and excited to be there and I can't wait to hear all about his first day!

Brett with his preschool friend, Mark - We're so glad they're in the same class.  They've been friends since they were 2 years old!

Update - Brett had a GREAT first day!  Todd picked him up in the carpool line and brought him home to my mom, who said that he was just as happy at the end of the day as he was at the beginning of the day.  He said they wrote some different letters, had recess, ate snack, and read two stories - one about a gingerbread baby and one about the first day of school.  Usually when I ask what he did at school, I get maybe one or two things, at best, but he's been talking about it non-stop!  I'm so glad that he had such a fun day and I'm looking forward to a great school year :)


We'll see how he does next week when they start going full days!
