Kindergarten

Today, we met Collin’s kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Hales. My first impressions of her are very positive and I hope that Collin will respect her and have a successful year. I shook hands with the teacher, and unexpectedly, I felt my eyes start to water. I felt like shaking myself! I am sure that you are saying something like “Come on, it’s only kindergarten.” Yeah well, it may be only kindergarten, and he may be gone for only two and a half hours each day, but that is quite beside the point. My little mister is growing up so fast, and it’s not that I am crying because I don’t want him to go, it’s just that I am so pleased that he’s doing well. He’s strong, healthy, smart, and so friendly. I don’t think anyone from our ward is in his class, but that is okay because he’ll make new friends quickly.
Collin has been so excited for school. When we registered and Collin heard that he’d be having to get some shots before he went to school, he said “Call the doctor right now, mom. I want to get my shots so I can go to school.” His cousin Kaylissa (and Aunt Katie) made a countdown chain for him, and faithfully, every morning, he cuts a link off, counts the remaining ones and tells me how many days left. What a kid!
