The First Day


School is back!

The Boy returned to school today but this time it is a little different. It counts now! Everything from now on will be on his permanent record.

Although he still attends the same Montessori school he has frequented for the past 3 years, today begins his kindergarten year. I guess he has to officially color in the lines and share more or else there may never be a first grade post like this one.

The send off was not all smiles for everyone involved. Although I was grinning ear to ear to have the little guy ensconced in something that will stimulate him enough mentally to ward off the bad choices born of boredom; Pickle was not so happy to see her "bubba" leave the car this morning without her. There were tears and cries of "bubba, bubba". She cried like I just sold him to gypsies! it was made worse because she grabbed her lunch bag on the way out the door and thought for sure that she too was going back to school. A quick trip to Target though erased all memories of the Boy and she played with all the forbidden toys of the summer upon our return home.
