Kindergarten orientation went well. Jackson had no problem meeting his teacher: Mrs. Cox and he ran off making friends in his classroom. Truman is not in their class but both boys ran up to Truman and gave him a big hug! Shane was with mommy and we went to meet Mrs. DiBello- he was a little shy at first, but he did move his name on the screen and we did complete the classroom scavenger hunt- which involved finding his cubby in the hallway and a few other items. After a while Shane let go of my hand and went and played with some other boys, they made pizza and a salad out of the wooden food we have at home. Within 15 minutes Shane wanted to go find his brother Jackson. So, we left Mrs. DiBello's room and found Mrs. Cox's classroom and Shane and Jackson played with some other boys for a few minutes before we had to leave.

It was a little chaotic- this kindergarten orientation and I think Daddy had a rougher time than the boys- it is hard to believe that they are going off to school every day starting next week. But we did O.K. there were kids there holding onto their parents and not talking so I think we did O.K.
Let's see how the official first day of school goes next Tuesday Sept. 9 at the Wellington School!
