Loved It!

We were anxious for Grant to get home from his first day of kindergarten so we could hear all about it.  Gracie said she missed him a bit but overall I think she had a great day.  We got Grant balloons, made him a cake, and got him a few presents to celebrate.

When Grant got of the bus and saw us waiting he had a little smirk on his face.  This is the bus aide teaching him how to cross the road.

As soon as he got to us he tore into his book-bag, got out his lunchbox, and pulled out a treat that he had saved for Grace!

He then showed us some of the work he had done that day, including this drawing.  Although his coloring said he was sad and scared on the first day of school, he was nothing but happy and proud when he got home.

After chugging some water he decided to dump the rest on his head to cool down.

Once we left the end of our driveway and got inside, Grant was so surprised at the decorations and presents.  He said, "I can't believe it, it's just like my birthday!"

Grant talked to us quite a bit about what happened during his day.  He said at one point he told a little girl, "I don't know where I am supposed to go?" and she said that she didn't know where she was supposed to go either.  Before he went, he thought his favorite part of the day would be lunch.  After his first day, he said his favorite part of the day was his snack.  It wasn't lunch because the lunch room was too loud.  He said he just wanted to stand up and yell for everyone to be quiet.  Although the room was loud, he said everybody at his table was quiet.  He talked about everyone waiting in line to go to the restroom and how they have a rainbow chart for their behavior.   Everyone starts at green and if your good you move up to blue, indigo or violet.  If you are bad you move down to red, orange or yellow.  He mentioned how a girl at his table had already moved up and some boys had already moved down.  Overall he just seemed to have such a great, great day.

Following that, the second morning went so much better than the first.  He ate his breakfast, got ready, and was excited to get on the bus.  After he got home from day 2 he said he kind of wished he had school the next day rather than it being the weekend.

Grant - You did such a great job transitioning to kindergarten, just like we knew you would!!!  Mommy and I are so proud of you and can't wait to see all that you learn this year.
