This is it. We are ready. Kindergarten, here we come. We have all our supplies, and I have labeled each crayon, marker, glue stick, etc with C's name as instructed. We have our school clothes, we have a new backpack and lunch bag with C's name embroidered on. We know our teacher is Mrs. Wood. C can read and tie his shoes. He can count to 100 by ones, twos, fives, or tens. P shared a special day of fishing with C yesterday. They discussed character, making good choices and being a leader. A real man-to-man talk. School starts on Monday and we are ready to go.
Except maybe I'm not. I am trying to be ready. I know he will absolutely love kindergarten. But, I will miss him. I have spent more time with C during the last 5 1/2 years than anyone else. And I like to be with him.
We went to open house tonight. Our prayers have been answered. C's teacher seems wonderful. I loved her classroom. C is at a table with another boy and two girls. He already knows three children in his class. His teacher welcomes parents helping in the class, which I have always looked forward to. After the open house, we walked to the playground for a few minutes. Kid were calling his name right and left. Kids from baseball camp, basketball camp, preschool.
When we got in the car to go home, C stated I want kindergarten to start right now.
He's ready.

Can you believe these little guys are ready? I can still picture them in that photo lying on the blanket together...remember when that was all they could do?
I love the man to man talk. So sweet. I'm going to have to send my two men out for a talk like that!
Oh, the joys that lie ahead for both of you this year! Sounds like his teacher is perfect and the friends in his class will be a huge comfort. I can't wait to hear more.
You will love having R to yourself this year.
