M's first day of Kindergarten!

M started his first day of Kindergarten yesterday. He was excited -- I don't think he was nervous at all! He was very easy to wake up and got dressed quickly. He picked out some breakfast and was ready to go. He was a little disappointed that he couldn't eat at school but I just can't get him there and get J ready for school at the same time....if I could duplicate myself that would be AMAZING!


When he gets there he has to wash his hands before entering the classroom. This is just outside his classroom door, the door in the picture behind him is the girls restroom for his class and just around the corner is the boys room. I am standing by the class door and bag hooks to take the picture.

This is him in his class for the first day of school. He has a sub teacher which I didn't realize I was getting in the picture as she was not my focus. I would venture to say that about 1/2 of the classroom is used for storage behind the kids tables. It is very heartbreaking to not see bright, happy, colorful, stimulating stuff in his class for him.

We have to wait out in the "abandon courtyard" for M after school. Here are the happy brother and sister waiting and posing. I am not sure why it is called that but that is what everyone keeps calling it. The kindergarteners get walked out there by their teachers. I guess I need to find out today about how it works for him to ride the bus.

M was so uninterested in whether we were there, he came out and sat on the wall not really caring that we were standing waiting! LOL! He jumped up there and was talking with his new buddies and J was fighting to get to him!

Signing off for today!
