Pumpkin started pre-kindergarten last Wednesday. He goes 3 days a week for 3 hrs a day, so not very long. He was really excited to start. Me? Not so much. My little boy is growing up so fast! I can't believe he is actually starting SCHOOL. Wow.

| Growing up!!! |
We got there a little early and walked hand in hand into his new school.
When we got to his room we gave his teacher's aid his markers, crayons, glue, and box of Kleenex. The school supply list we had gotten told us exactly what to get: Crayola, broad line, non-washable, non-fluorescent, 10 count markers. Crayola 16 count crayons. Large bottle Elmer's School Glue, blue label. Kleenex. Well, all the stores in our town were sold out of the markers! I spent a whole afternoon going into every store around, Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, the grocery store, and ended up driving to the office supply store on the OTHER side of town to get them. Boy am I glad that I did though. If I hand't and would have opted out for the cheap knock-off brand, he would have been the only kid with the wrong markers. That could have scarred him for life!
After we gave them his supplies, we found his cubby and put his backpack and coat in it, and then found his chair. The teacher had green play-dough set out on all the tables, so Pumpkin was easily distracted and didn't give me much more thought. I got a kiss and a hug and he was in his own world. I set back and watch for a bit and took a couple pictures.
Since he was ready to start his day, I let him be. The 3 hrs drug on though, and finally I got to go pick him up! We talked all the way home about what he did that day. They were scientists, and they did some science with vinegar and colors and baking soda. He was so excited to tell me about it! He was really tired from all the activities (and probably from getting up so early), so when we got home we took a nap together. :)
How did you feel on your child's first day of school? Were they excited to go?
