Kindergarten

Carson started Kindergarten this morning! He HAD to wear his new school t-shirt today because "mom, it's just appropriate for the first day, don't you think?" Yes :). When we arrived at school, he couldn't wait to jump out of the car - I literally had to hold him back!  Last week we went for a "Meet the Teacher" day and he was beyond happy to see his classroom and meet his teacher.  Over the weekend, we learned that they added an extra Kindergarten class and Carson was moved to that one.  Good news because class sizes were approaching 30 before this, and now he's in a class of 20. I thought he might get upset about the change, but he wasn't rattled one bit.  His new teacher seems very nice, and he walked right in and immediately started looking for his cubby and desk.  Carson's first observation of the room…"Where's the "color change" board?"  - the behavior monitoring tool teachers use at his school to keep them in line.  Yes, we pointed it out to him in his original classroom, and we've been encouraging him to try his best to stay within the "safe" color range.  But we know our little talker has his work cut out for him :).  He immediately sat down to draw, and seemed quite at home.  Maggie and I said goodbye and headed to Starbucks to celebrate!  We're so happy for him because we know he's going to love learning and meeting new friends!
