On August 7th, Jackson started Kindergarten. He has been excited for months. He is totally prepared and ready to learn. He is young for his age, so of course as his mom, I worry that he won't be developed or ready socially or emotionally, but I have no concerns about his ability to succeed and excel in school. He is such a smartie!
He helped me pack his lunch. He chose a PB& J sandwich with water. I threw in some applesauce, blueberries, grape tomatoes, string cheese, mini-wheats and banana bread. I hope he can handle the responsibility of getting a lunch to and from school. We practiced and talked a lot about it.
Here is Arizona, there are many options available for school. I did a lot of research and praying and tried to find the school that would work best for him and for our family. I am still not sure I made the right choice (I am so bad at making decisions . . .I put them off forever and then question the outcome for weeks afterward), so dropping him off at school was so unnerving. It is scary that my choices will affect his life so much. I was scared of sending him out into the world and hoped that he makes good choices. I was sad to say goodbye to him. The day feels long and a bit lonely (although I still have my hands full of my little girls).
Jackson came come from school excited (he rides the bus home and we are the first stop!). He told me all about his day for about 45 minutes, answering millions of my questions. Finally, he said, "Mom, This is getting a bit boring-ish". I'm so proud of my little kid and excited for all he will learn this year.

What school did you end up choosing? Remember, if you change your mind later on...you can put him somewhere else easily! Such a great thing about AZ. I'm excited for him. Kindergarten is awesome.
