While Tom and Alice were in town, both TJ and Jojo had their first day of school. Kindergarten for TJ and preschool for Jojo--these boys are growing up fast!
Here's Thomas on his first day of kindergarten. The first day was just an hour of class with mom and dad in tow. Big smiles!
At his school:
Waiting for the bus on the second day (the first full day):
Getting on the bus!
A successful day at school: getting off the bus at the end of the day:
Thomas comes home every day with things he learned in kindergarten he wants to try on us--raising hands to get more milk at dinner or leave the table to go to the bathroom, step-by-step lessons on how to draw a pencil, morning meetings...he claims he hasn't learned anything yet, but he really enjoys kindergarten so far!
Oh, and on the second day, while Alice, the two little boys and I were waiting for him to get off the bus, I saw him roll his eyes. He got off the bus and informed me that I didn't need to wait at the corner for him--he'd rather I waited back at the house or at least off the street. Talk about growing up fast!
Jojo started 3-year-old preschool--since he knew the routine and the teachers from TJ's last two years, he was an expert! Big smiles here too.
When he got back in the car, I asked how school was. He gave me a rundown of the day and then asked, "any more questions?" After listening to TJ tell us about his day for the first few days of school, Jojo knew exactly what we wanted to hear! :)
