Kindergarten!

Jack woke up this morning and got himself dressed for school. He informed me that he put on Thomas the Train underwear :) I fixed him some oatmeal and he opened cards from us and Mimi and Papa. They included $5, which made him ecstatic!! We did not but he still liked our card ;) Ha ha. We all headed out to the bus stop a little after 8 am and I felt like such the Kindergarten mother with my giant camera around my neck :) He was sooooo excited and I could barely get him to turn around on the bus for a picture. He went to the middle and took a seat, beaming ear to ear. Dave and I were stoic and just happy that he was so excited.

We talked a lot about what to expect today last night at bedtime and I was getting a little misty eyed as Jack asked me lots of questions in a "small" voice..... I hope I set his mind at ease. Guess I did by how excited he was today! We practiced going saying "Hi, my name is Jack. Do you want to come play with me over here?" and I also told him that some kids may cry today and that just means that they are scared and to be extra nice to them.

I also braced his teacher for millions of questions. Jack sure is inquisitive!!!
