Today was an exciting day for four of our six kids. John moved up to third grade. Kelsey started second grade. Bekah went to full day kindergarten! And our "little" Jack started half day pre-k! What an exciting day for everyone!
Jack couldn't wait to go in the afternoon on his bus. He was found asking Mommy every 20 minutes when his bus was coming and if it was time to go to school. This occurred for 3+ hours (ever since his siblings departed for school at 0730. His bus finally came to pick him up at 1145. And there couldn't have been a more excited guy!
The after school "party" wasn't as happy to see Mommy. The kids all wanted to show how big they were by walking home alone. Well, as alone as you can be in a crowd of kids. What they meant was, without Mommy. But safety first.
As soon as they got home they had apples, chocolate chip cookies and gallons of water! It was a hot walk home. And Jack promptly relaxed to take a nap. He fights the usual naptime when it's not a school day...but I think today he deserves a little break wherever he can find it.
