Blake went off to kindergarten for the first time today - a half day. And thought it was great. "I love school!" he told me later while we were eating lunch. His first comment to Dad when he got off the bus was, "Everybody stayed on the green light!" They have a stoplight system for discipline. The students get one warning, and if they get another, they have to move their name to the yellow light. If they get in trouble again, they have to move to the red light, and then a "red light note" gets sent home to the parents. If they stay on green the entire week, they get to pick out of the treasure box on Friday. "3 more days until the treasure box," Blake says. Maybe this will actually keep him out of trouble. He's already made a bus buddy, another kindergarten student who lives around the corner from us. And they sit in the back. Isn't that where the troublemakers usually sit? Anyway, at least he has a friend on the bus. He didn't really remember anyone's name from his class yet, but said he played with several kids.
And just in case you're wondering, I did manage to keep my tears in check. Though it was kind of a sad but happy day.
