FINALLY! Jacob has been looking forward to Kindergarten since LAST year when he thought he was going to Early Learners. His big day finally arrived! He was SO excited! We met his teachers on Monday and he couldn't wait to go on Wednesday for his first day. While we visited his teachers, we discovered that the school had Jacob on a bus route. We were both very interested. I found out it is a bus with only out-of-boundary Kindergartners aboard (I wouldn't have let him ride if all the older kids would be riding with him) and it comes right to the front of our house! What could be better than that??
Hunter was feeling a little left out, so he grabbed his "pack pack" and joined in. His preschool starts in a few weeks.
Jacob was a little apprehensive about riding the bus on the first day. He requested I drop him off. It worked out better that way so I could get some first day pictures at the school.
He was so excited to go into his room and start learning! I am so blessed that he is not a clingy child who cries at separation! I was excited to resume my errand-running with only one child in tow. Hunter does SO much better at the store when Jacob is not around to antagonize him! I avoided the grocery store at all costs this summer because of that reason! It was a happy day for all!
Jacob bravely rode the bus home that afternoon and was so excited when I told him he gets to go back to school tomorrow!
He has been bugging me to go to full-day Kindergarten..for the coveted reason of getting to bring his lunch to school. I told him if he still wants to go to full-day after Christmas, I will let him. I am hoping after a few months of every day school he will be content enough with half-day. I don't think he is ready for full-day and I'm pretty sure I will hear some complaining about it being too long if we do end up changing him!
