Will started Kindergarten!!!
He loves it.
We were having dinner after his second day and Will asked me what my favorite thing was.
“Person, or thing?”
“Thing,” he said.
“Umm, my bicycle. What’s yours?”
Pause. Smile. “Kindergarten.”
I’m so happy about how much he loves kindergarten I could cry. It helps that he’s older for his year (he turns 6 less than a month after the age cut off) and that he had three amazing years at a nurturing and wonderful preschool first.
Here’s another good story…
The Buddy Bench
Yesterday Will came home so excited because he’d made a new kindergarten friend. He’d been going over to sit on the “buddy bench” where you sit if you don’t have a buddy to play with and are looking for one. Someone was already there, so he asked them to play and they “did as much as they could together for the rest of the day!”
I think we need to bring this buddy bench concept everywhere. Cocktail parties. Congress.
I love the buddy bench.
Hope you’re having a wonderful transition into fall, whatever that means for you and your family – whether it’s back to school, or cooler weather for your morning runs!
Great photo! He sure does look happy to be starting school! That’s a nice feeling knowing that they are spending their days in a positive place.
Will is really growing up and what a cutie he is! I love the idea of the Buddy Bench too!
