1st Day of Kindergarten




David has officially started Kindergarten! It was a wild beginning, with staggered days, but he is now going all day, everyday. He has been very excited about Kindergarten, but when the day came for us to drop him off and say bye, he FREAKED out. We lovingly call it, "an Uncle A.D. fit." It was AWFUL. He was sooo nervous and just refused to go to school. I don't even want to go into details, just believe me...it was BAD. Matt and I both wish we had a video camera at the time!! At any rate, I peeled him off of me and left him crying, which left me emotionally exhausted. HOWEVER, when we picked him up that afternoon...he was all smiles and had a great day! The next time we took him, he cried for just a minute. The 3rd time...he kissed me and told me "bye Mom." WOOHOO!!!

He still doesn't like that the day is so long. "7 HOURS?!?" He does seem to be getting in the groove though and has come home with "green tickets" everyday. He's working towards 20 green tickets so he can get into the treasure box. My favorite part of the day is going to pick him up. I tend to agree with him....7 hours is a LONG day. Daniel and I are sooo ready to see him at 3:15! Daniel Doodah is missing him like crazy by lunch time!

This is a HUGE adjustment period for all of us. I am so proud of David. I can't believe he is already in Kindergarten. Time has just flown by! My baby is growing up!!!
