I can't believe I have a kindergartener! That can't be right. Sam started at Pope Elementary on Aug. 2, and so far likes it. He teacher Mrs. Johnson, has been teaching there for 28 years, so I feel slightly better about him going. I am not sold on the importance of Kindergarten especially ALL DAY kindergarten! I don't think he should be there from 8:30-3:30 everyday with only one 20min recess, that's just to long. He seems to be adjusting well and loves to learn. Everyday he comes home ready to tell me about his day. He has been couped up all day so he is bouncing off the walls when he gets home and it is SO HOT I can't just send him outside to play, which means he and Logan wrestle until one of them gets hurt. Fun for all! Logan however is not loving this whole Sam being gone all day. I have had to find alternate routes to the store. If we drive past his school Logan starts saying "You pick up my Sammy right now! Him wants me! School over!" Its really cute but at the same time sad, they are best friends! And YES he is wearing a uniform, I am still pretty angry about it! He is going to a PUBLIC school (not happy about that). I get why they have them do it, but I LOVE shopping! Plain black, white, or maroon polo's are not so fun to shop for people!
Sam loves school and I feel very relieved that he likes going and is looking forward to it everyday. I have been near a breakdown for months now about sending him to a public school in the Jackson. I have made a deal with Dave to send him to this school which is very close to our house until 2nd grade. The principal is great and there are only 13 kids in his class so I do feel better about it.
(this IS better, people) He looks so grown up, I can't stand it!! I love the little kid in the background,(Alex) he looks so freaked out.

Oh Sammy!! He is growing up so fast. He looks so stinkin adorable!! I can't even imagine how hard it will be to finally let Emma go to school for the first time. You seem to be handling it well!! :) Yeah uniforms are a cool concept...and look darling. But seriously, that could turn shopping (a beautiful ritual) into an incredibly boring task. LOL. So sad that Logan has to be left out for a while. But he will get his turn too soon enough!! I love you guys, can't wait to see you.
I feel for you. I'm not very excited about letting my first little one go off to school. Sam does look really cute though. The petrified rocks are awesome. What a fun trip with all of the neat museums and family.
