Otherwise known as the day my guy got signed up for Kindergarten.
Yesterday we took Jack to his school, Ardmore Elementary, to sign up for Kindergarten. I had really thought we were going to do half day, then I looked at the lesson plans... the half day kids get basically introduction to reading and learning numbers and letters-tied in with art once a week and PE & music class. The full day kids get exposed to science and math and more art, music and PE. So we decided to do full day. The half day instructional period was only 2 hrs and 40 minutes as well--so it didn't really seem worth it. It looks like they also mix in some of the advanced Kindergartners with the first grade class. Since Jack can basically read and add and subtract, I am hoping he is one of those kids.
Jack has been nervous all summer, saying he doesn't like school and doesn't want to go, well after seeing the school yesterday he is excited. We took him to see the play equipment and he was happy with what they had. He is really looking forward to riding the bus to and from school. Which I do not know if I am ready for, at all. It seems so grown up of him to be doing.
My little guy is growing up. Thursday was have an orientation from 1-3 to meet the teacher and see the room. That should be fun.
Ohh last night we found a really great neighborhood pizza place, its NY style pizza and they have some arcade games from the 60's and 70's in the restaurant. It was awesome food too.

Ahh!!! The heartache of motherhood when your child grows up. I remember when it was your first day Kristin. You were so darn cute standing here in your new clothes and backpack. Inside my heart was breaking, but so excited for you to begin a new chapter.
Good luck buddy boy. Nana and Papa John are so proud of you.
