Kindergarten

Today was Blake's first day of kindergarten. He was excited to go, but was a little shy when we got to school. He goes from 8-3, although he has to be in his chair at 7:50. His teacher is Mrs. Robinson. None of his good friends are in his class, but he does know one girl, Claire, from church who is in his class. He is looking forward  to recess so that he can play with his friends.

We walked to school. Dylan and I dropped him off in his classroom and then they had a breakfast for parents. It was crazy how many parents were crying. It was a pretty happy day for me (I don't understand the crying), but a sad day for Dylan. They say that each other is their best friend. Dylan will go to preschool one day a week starting next week, which will be fun for him to be able to play with some friends. 

Mrs. Robinson is the teacher that was our little guide on the day of Blake's testing and I thought she was great. She has been teaching kindergarten for 11 years and has 2 little boys. Hopefully Blake will love her. His school is really into security of the kids, which is great (sad at the same time) but also kind of a pain.

I don't know if they do this in other states, but since it is so hot here, the kids are required to have a water bottle at their desk that they also take with them to recess. Dylan and I will leave soon to go get Blake and then come home and swim! Hope everyone else has a great first day of school!
