First day of Kindergarten

This is Thomas's first year of real school! He's a kindergartender!! He loves it-his favorite part of his day, every day, is the bus. Of course. It was a fun day-Jen and her kids were still here, so were Grandma and Scarlette. We got some fun pictures! It was adorable-all the kindergarteners wore colored bandanas depending on what class they were in.

Thomas loves his teacher Ms. LaRoy, too. He's going to do very well, I can see it. He's enthusiastic about it and loves going. And I love seeing him there, I go every other week, it seems, to have lunch with him in the noisiest cafeteria on earth. Those kids are so loud. It's funny to see the dynamics of the kids. I don't know if Thomas is always mellow in class, but he sure is at lunch time, maybe it's just a little down time for him. And his classmates recognize me, too! I'm Thomas's mom!!
