Gerrit had a great first day of Kindergarden. We met his teacher on Thursday during his pre-school conference and he seemed excited and ready to go. Adam and I braced ourselves for a rough morning on Friday, bit it went great! There were no tears, he was excited and seemed confident in what he had to do and where to go.
Here are a few pictures:
If you remember what last year's pictures looked like - these are very different! (It really was not that dark - it was 7am and the photos look worse than it was.) Gerrit is smiling and happy; last year he was mad and still eating breakfast! Emmit felt he needed a 'pack back' which is what he calls a back pack. So before we left he walked around with his diaper bag that is a back pack.
Now that he's had 2 days of school, he said today was even better than Friday. He had show and tell and brought in one of his trophies from this summer. He has made a few new friends (most of his friends from preschool stayed at Kids of Christ for Kindergarden).
He's really starting to grow up and is even nice to Emmit (on a regular basis). He's more helpful around the house and turning the corner (for the good) compared to earlier this summer.
I'm excited to come home each day to hear all about his day at school. It is fun to hear what he has learned and what the best part of his day was.
Emmit is making strides in the potty training area. He seems to be getting the concept faster than Gerrit did. I'm not sure how people can make money off of books titled "Potty Training in 3 Days" because I don't believe it! I'm hoping it is mastered before we have to get back to pants because shorts and crocs are much easier to clean than dealing with pants and tennis shoes!
