I have a child in Kindergarten!

The long awaited day finally arrived! Joseph started kindergarten! The school we attend only offers full-day kindergarten, so he is getting the full experience of adjusting to school. He was definitely ready, though and very excited. He was a little nervous, as the pictures show. The first thing he said to me after getting off the bus was, "Mom, you gave me too much food for lunch!" Then he said, "There were three recesses, but I only got to go to two, because I was finishing all the food you put in my lunch!" Somehow, he thought he had to eat every bite of his lunch before he could go play. He was quite distraught about the whole thing, but I thought it was so cute. I must say, he has done very well adjusting, a few grumpy afternoons here and there, but mostly, he has been quite a trooper. I'm so proud of my kindergartener!
