Kindergarten Coop

Coop started Kindergarten last Weds. We've made it through 5 whole days already. So far, it has been nothing but good. He loves his teacher and is on an Elementary School high! Every day I pick him up he asks when he gets to go back and tonight after soccer practice he wanted to go back to Kindergarten right then and there. We're off to a good start I'd say.

On day 3 he asked if he could walk to his classroom by himself. I asked him if he'd humor me a little longer so that Cruz and I could walk the halls with him and be a part of his day. Both yesterday and today I took a chance and walked in with him again. He didn't say anything but I'm sure he's going to kick me to the Kindergarten curb very soon.

I'll have you know that I did not shed a tear the first morning I dropped him off. He was excited and I was at peace. I did feel a little guilty because numerous Moms have told me how distraught they were and how the cried for days!?!? Coop is happy and I am proud!

Mark missed his first week but luckily was home for Coop's open house the week before so he at least got to meet Coop's teacher and see his classroom. We'll catch him up to speed once fire season is over. Only six more weeks!!!!!!

Our First-Morning-of-Kindergarten pics didn't start off very well. Coop was not happy with the shirt I chose for him to wear. I was panicked because every shot I took looked like this;




Does that look like a Happy Kindergartner or what? Luckily, he came around when I told him he didn't want to start his first day boo-hoo'ing about a SHIRT. Kindergarteners don't fuss about such nonsense ;)

His eyes are still a little puffy here but he's slowly coming around........



Targ did his best to tell him how proud he was of him.










Welcome to Kindergarten, Coop!!
