Kindergarten

Well, T-man officially started Kindergarten on August 25. What a day! He was so excited and so proud to FINALLY be going to Kindergarten. He woke up and had breakfast and was quick to get dressed. We took a picture together before we walked out the door.
Then we get to the school. WOW! There were so many parents and kids. It was crazy. Drove around for about 10 minutes just trying to find a place to park. Finally! T-man wanted to walk in by himself, but I wouldn't let him. I had to walk in with him. Once inside, T-man found a place to hang his backpack.

Off to work I went. The day seemed to fly as I thought about what all T-man would be doing through out the day. Then the best email, my boss told me that I could leave at 4 so that I could get T-man and hear all about his first day of school.

P and I get to the school to pick T-man up from the after school program that he is in, and we asked how his day was. The answers were fine and I don't know. I was so disappointed because I wanted to know everything that happened in his new chapter of his life. But, I knew that was not going to happen. The only real conversation that we got out of the kid was, "Oh, man. I forgot my homework." What a way to start the first day of school!

We are now embarking on T-man finishing his second week of school. It has been an adventurous two weeks. On his fourth day of school, he happened to leave his lunch bag in the classroom, so we had to go back and get it. Mrs. N was still at the school and informed me that T-man had refused to practice walking safely in the hall. I could not believe that my child had gotten in trouble at school. So, we had to work on walking safely that night along with his regular homework. Then this week, he got in trouble for talking to loud in the classroom.

All and all, he seems to be liking his new school and his new teacher. He told me earlier in the week that he needed to be at school earlier because he wanted to be the caboose. I asked him what the caboose did and he told me that they get to turn out the light and shut the door to the classroom. Not real sure what that had to do with getting to school early, but I let him think that we are getting there earlier.

As the year goes on, I will try to keep this updated with different little tid bits about the happenings in T-man's world.

Till the next adventure.....
