ever! of kindergarten, for Owen, first... day... ever. Well, we meet the teacher tomorrow, then he will start class on Friday. What to do what to do... Talked with him last night about starting, he is less than enthusiastic, notably nervous, as expected by the unanticipated, the new routine, the new ... stuff. "Friends"... with a nonchalant wave of the hand he explained "I'm good at making friends" I'm so glad that that is not really a worry. I think the learning stuff, having to focus on a lesson concerns him a little bit. I think reading feels really hard to him right now... of course, but it worries him, perhaps more than other things, basic math concepts he is pretty comfortable figuring out. It's probably just the newness. He won't be the oldest anymore like he was at the Y for a long time... the kid who has it all figured out... he'll be in the same boat as everyone, and I"m not sure he likes that position. He will do great, making friends... he is good at that.
my boy is 5 1/2
favorite color: orange or pink
super skills: riding his bike, making friends, being silly, building cool stuff.
favorite food
requested school lunch items: fruit (bananas, apples, oranges), cheese, well, I like peanut butter and jelly, but I am thinkin'... nah. carrot sticks... sticks, cut up long you know, cinnamon roll-ups, hard cooked eggs with salt in a separate little pouch that I can put on myself... not on it beforehand.
starting kindergarten. seriously.
