First Day of Kindergarten

Ryan is in kindergarten this year. His first day was Thursday, Aug. 21st and he was thrilled. He likes his teacher and has a lot of friends in his class.
I took him that morning and as the parents got them settled the kids were encouraged to go and play with the toys scattered around. Ryan went over to a big bin of dinosaurs and got them all out. I came over after a bit and started to say good-bye.
I noticed he had one group of dinosaurs on one side facing another group on the other side. I asked what he was doing - "Oh, the meat-eating dinosaurs are going to battle the plant-eating dinosaurs."

Grandpa got him camoflauged clothes this week too. They tried them out today when they went out fishing (you don't REALLY need to be camoflauged to fish but oh well). Ryan caught a big blue gill and had a blast.

Alex is really angry when we don't say that he goes to kindergarten too. He is going to Ryan's school this year and that is BIG for him. His first day of preschool was today. He is frustrated that he doesn't go every day like Ryan. He is so proud to be wearing big boy underwear to school.

Katie will be going to a Mother's Day out (BUM Kids - Bolivar United Methodist) that all of them have been to in the past. She also starts speech therapy tomorrow. She feels QUITE grown up as well because now she has her OWN back pack and goes to her own school without her brothers.

Should be an interesting year....
