It is amazing how quickly the day flew by. I thought for sure I would cry as Garrett entered school on his first day of kindergarten. , But surprisingly he was so excited and calm that I was not phased.
He recieved many calls this morning asking if he was ready to go and he simply answered by saying "No I don't start till the afternoon, I will get ready after lunch."
When I picked him up his teacher, Mrs. Neibergal, said that Garrett seemed nervous most of the day. I was a little shocked since he is not typically a nervous kid. Shy but not nervous- so cute to think of him turning red and clamering up as he is called on.
When I asked him how the day went he said, "It was good. We didn't have any free time though. Do you think we will get to have some tomorrow?
I asked him what the most exciting part of the day was- He said he got to be the big cheese. (This person is the line leader, does chores in the class room etc. )
When I asked him what his teachers name was he said Mrs. Something- well Mrs. I don't know
what is her name again. He said he met four new freinds, but he didn't know their names. He did remember what they were wearing though.
As he drifted off into dreamland tonight he said, "Mom did you know we do the same things in Kindergarten as we did in preschool, why don't they just call it that?" Such an observant child.
Overall it was a great first day. It could not have gone better. Hopefully as the week goes on he will become more comfortable and show his true personality.
After a day of focusing on his brother starting school- Carson is getting even more excited about his first day. He asks me every morning when he gets to go-- Next Tuesday cannot come soon enough for him.
