First Day of Kindergarten

Samuel was very excited about starting school today! I think that he was much more comfortable after going to the school to meet his teachers last week. Around 11:05 we started walking to the bus stop. When we asked him if he was nervous, he said alittle but not much. Of course, I was pretty good until I spotted the school bus rounding the corner at 11:20. All 5 kids gave hugs and kisses to their parents and with great big grins they hopped on the school bus and never looked back. All 5 mothers had tears in their eyes as we watched the big yellow school bus drive away. It is official...He is a Kindergartener now!!

A few comments from Samuel about his first day at school.

• Mommy, I've been dreaming about riding a school bus!
• I DO NOT like the "Hello Neighbor" song that we ahd to learn and sing.
  
• I forgot to meet new friends today.
  
• The computer room is awesome! There are so many computers.

Me: Did you learn anything new today?
Samuel: Yes
Me:What did you learn?
Samuel: I don't remember

Samuel: Today we took pictures of important people around the school so we can make a book. Me: Who did you take pictures of?
Samuel: I don't remember

• I can't remember anything else right now because my brain isn't turned on...mommy, can you turn it on for me?


• My favorite part of the day was riding the school bus.

Me: Samuel, it sounds like you had a fantastic day.
Samuel: YES, IT WAS SUPER FANTASTIC!!!
