first "days" of school

Here in Wingate (pronounced Wing-it, go soft  on the "t") the elementary school has kindergartners starting a week after the first through fifth graders.  But for the first four days they divide the kindergartners up to do an assessment day.  TJ's was set for the 30th but we were able to get them to change it to the 25th, so he "started" the same day as sarahbeth.




This is TJ's  ACTUAL first day of kindergarten, September 1st. (and yes, sb's hair is about 6 inches shorter than last week)
 After SB's first day we went to the park behind the school and oma walked her there.


 He was excited at home, and then a little nervous in the car, but in the classroom he was super scared.  This was the best picture I got of him with his teacher, Miss Johnson.

And then here, seriously..... I had to take a picture of the painting on the wall to the bathrooms here... reminds me of Mikey from Look Who's Talking....can we say creepy?

Oh my freak...are they trying to keep the kids from going to the bathroom? "The toilet is going to eat you! Hold it or else!"

Cute first days pictures! Hope he warms up to kindergarten!

Poor TJ! He looks like a deer in the headlights. I hope he had a great first week of school though!

SB is getting SO big! What grade is she in?

That's awesome that your mom got to be there.
