I really wasn't sure how Jeremy would take the whole going to school thing. He is a home body and can be quite the contrarian. Really there is no one sweeter than Jeremy! Last spring when I took him to the kindergarten round up I was really worried. He shocked me! I expected him to be upset and not be happy about it. He was quite the opposite. He maintained this attitude all summer long today was no exception. He was so excited for his first day of school. He is in afternoon kindergarten. Now it's only been one day so I'll have to post about this later, but so far I think afternoon kindergarten is the way to go. On our way to school I asked him if he was excited. He said he was. He was excited because he was going to learn so many new things. He had a great day and is excited to go back.
I just had to include this picture below. It shows the contrast. Below is Jeremy's first day of preschool. He was three years old. He was not happy about it. I didn't send him last year and I"m glad I didn't. He needed to be at home and this year he was ready to go!
Here is Riley. He too was very excited! He loved his teacher. When he came home I asked him how is day was. First he told me, "It was HORRIBLE!" I was shocked and concerned and asked why. He was kidding. HE said it was so good!
I"m so relieved and happy that today was such a success! Even Tyler, who felt like he got the short end of the stick because he wasn't going to school, had a good day!
