First Grade, First Grade! Jack’s class sang that song at kindergarten graduation and it got most of the females in the room misty eyed (at the very least). Today was the day! He started the big time….First Grade!
In a way, it was like starting at a new school all over again. Kindergarten was in its own little world. A separate playground and a whole wing of the school all to themselves. Now, he’s going out into the real big kid world. And would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t even cry. Until just now…but only a little.
After school, we talked about his day over some Baskin Robbins ice cream and it sounds like he had a great day! He has a couple of his best buddies from kindergarten in his class and some other familiar faces. (This mommy is also very happy to be able to have her two best mommy friends from last year’s class in the same class again this year). One sweet boy from his t-ball team is also in his class. There are quite a few new faces, too. It will be fun for him to make new friends while he learns.
After we dropped Jack off, we spent some one-on-one time with Ben at the ‘down park’ just below the school. He had so much fun that he didn’t want to leave.
Tomorrow is Ben’s big day. First day of preschool! He’s very super duper excited to go to school and be a big boy like his brother. Let’s hope he feels the same when I have to leave him. He told me tonight that he wants to bring his backpack, TWO lunches and his goggles. Yes, swim goggles. He got them at a birthday party a few weeks ago and has taken quite a liking to them.
