Kindergarten Rocks!

So here I am finally getting around to putting something out for Lee and his first day/s of Kindergarten. I say day/s cause he went on the first day of school but only for orientation and then 2 days later he officially started school. As a matter of fact I get to drop off money for him to go to all day Kindergarten...sheesh! Sometimes kids will bleed you dry! And I just love the people who say they are going to wait and have kids until they can afford them...HA! Just an FYI people that will NEVER happen!

Lee had a rough night the night before school, wondering about the what ifs'...what if someone hurts me? What if I don't know where I'm going? I don't remember my teachers name...those things. So I called the Great Grandparents and asked them if they would be ever so kind and come and stay with Dru and Eli while I followed the bus (that Ian and Lee ride) to the school and meet Lee there and walk with him to his classroom. So they graciously said they would come and off we all went that morning. I met Lee at his classroom and we got him all settled in. I will be very honest with you I didn't think I would have a hard time with Lee going to school cause I'd been through this already with Ian. I was WRONG! W-R-O-N-G ! I was crying on the way to the school, pulled myself together enough to get Lee going and then cried on the way home sobbing to Frank and my friend Nikki!

Just so you know, there is now way he's old enough to be in school already! But apparently they tell me he is.

His teacher is a woman I have high hopes in...Ian's first two years have not gone well but I hold out hope for both Lee and Ian and their teachers this year. But Lee's teacher called me on the first day and let me know that Lee had a wonderful time and did really well. He had a rough go of it on the first part getting involved, but they found a book about lizards and that was the end of that. After that book he decided he might like this and started interacting. His teacher said the only thing he was kinda sad about was that he'd not seen his brother yet. So his teacher said it's OK, the last recess we all play together and you will see him then. Lee got really excited and that made his day. I think so far he's really liking Kindergarten.

Here is his first day of school outfit...all the sudden he's picking out things with skater guys on it...don't know where that comes from...Nikki.... :)The AWESOME backpack that Oma and Grandpa Jolly got him...things could not be better than that! They also got him a matching lunch box...which he loves!And of course the new shoes his Grandma and Grandpa Paulson got him...they do make him run faster and jump higher Oma. Oh and the shoes are just like his buddy Isaac's shoes...which make them even cooler!My two scholars! I think Ian was just as excited as Lee was for Lee's first day of school. In line at the bus stop...you know I took the picture but they aren't even looking at me...weird boys.I love that Lee has to hike his legs up to get on the bus...those steps I've always thought were up high. As you can tell by the look on his face he at this point is not so sure about this whole situation. But at his table he had 2 other buddies that he knew from Vacation Bible School, so he had familiar faces. He looks so terrified!
Check out the brand spanking new crayons in his school box! I love brand new crayons!!!!
