We met Luke's kindergarten teacher and I think he is going to have an amazing year! She is the teacher I wanted him to get. (Though truthfully, I only knew who two of them were.) She is fun, energetic, organized and she expects a lot from the kids. She is the one who tested him on Monday, too. I think he'll have a great time with her.
He is really excited!!
I am too, but I am also teary anytime I start to think about letting him go out into the world.
Oh, and I was SO excited when his teacher told us the only school supply he needs is a backpack!! Woo Hoo!!! We just bought one for him!
It is amazing to me that he has to know so much going in and that he'll learn even more than I had to in kindergarten. (And I'm not that old...future post about that...) I remember learning my colors, how to tie my shoes, numbers, letters, etc. He's going to start basic math, reading and has to know how to count to 30 by the end of the year. (He's already most of the way there. If I get him to 20, he can get to 29 on his own. And he is most of the way to 20 on his own.)
So, since I just kind of babbled about kindergarten, I'll stop now and I promise to post first-day-of-school pictures!! I'm so excited for him...If only I can get through it without him seeing me cry!

Such a big change Kindergarten brings. Don't forget your tissues!
My b-bop has done excellent this first week. My other girls were much more emotional, being away from home so much.
Ah yes, trying not to cry. I was shockingly calm until the moment the bell rang and the halls got quiet. Then I WAS the kindergartner! Glad he got such a great teacher! That will make all the difference.
BTW, I noticed no one has entered yet for the hat. I didn't because my kids are older but I would love one for my niece! I just have to make sure they don't trap germ particles too much because she is fighting cancer. Do you know what they use in that case?
