First Day of Kindergarten!

WOW.... today was the first day of kindergarten. Will woke up early this morning and ran into my office asking if he could quick get ready and go to school. It made my day/week....month. I am so happy he is excited for school especially considering our summer camp experience.

He is really growing up. Last week he decided it was ok to leave his blankie at home. Now he has one at dad's house and one at mine. This was a big step. We have been talking about it for a while and he really did it all himself. I have found this is how it all seems to work... potty training, reading. He makes brilliantly smooth transitions when the timing is right for him.

He is in Ms Ravenscroft room and there are a number of kids he knows in his class. All of the details seem to be working themselves out. I am glad he has a backpack (that is larger than he is) for all of those interesting things we have been carrying around for such a long time. He and Ella will miss each other a lot. I am happy they will see each other on the playground and after school. They are best buds and are pills when they are together... this way, they will probably listen a wee bit more than they would if they were in the same class. Anyway, the smiles are really reciprocal here and start in their toes.
