A Taste of Kindergarten!

We had Orientation this morning. We met his teacher again, and half the students in his class. We went on a "scavenger hunt" in the classroom so he could learn where everything is and how things work. After you've found everything, the student is supposed to go to the teacher, say Hi, either give her a high five, a handshake or a hug, and get your picture taken. Our little man chose to shake her hand :-) Reminded me of when he was about two years old, and as he'd enter our church on Sunday mornings, he'd insist on shaking everyone's hands that passed his way. It took a long time to get from one end of the hall to the other!

He got to play on the big playground with the playground lady while us parents went back into the class with the teacher to go through the handbook. Jacob was the first one back to the classroom, he looked so grown up. He is SO excited to start Kindergarten tomorrow! He even said that I'm going to have another baby and her name will be Mrs. Dean. :-) Silly boy...

We can't wait for him to start school! I have found that I can't keep him entertained as well anymore. His brain needs to be challenged, his social skills need to be widened, his legs need to run! He grew so much in so many ways last year in Preschool, we can't wait to see what will unfold throughout this school year!
