I'm going to jump forward real quick because last week was back to school week in our house. Noah finally had the honor and privilege (he has been waiting all summer) to head off to Kindergarten. Monday was Open House day so for two hours, Noah and I toured the school, met his teacher, met the school bus driver, visited Trailblazers (his extended Kindergarten), met the Spanish teacher, ran around in the gym (him not me), put away our school supplies and found his cubby, and discovered that a girl from his daycare class was in his room. I was happy that he would have a friend he knew in his class.
One current trend is take a picture every year in an adult-sized graduation shirt. By the time graduation arrives, Noah will fit in the shirt.
On Tuesday I came home from work early so he could ride the bus to his very first day of school. He has afternoon Kindergarten, but on days when there is no one at the house (for now) he is signed up for an extended day as well as after-care. He was so excited and ready to go. When the bus finally came (8 minutes late) he jumped right on. When he came home 3 1/2 hours later, the first thing he said was "I had a good day" without any prompting. He also said he made lots of friends and he was so thrilled that he was the first one on the bus and the first one off (aka he was the leader).
