On August 17, 2009, Garrett started kindergarten at our local country school. He has two teachers that job share. We had met Garrett’s teachers the week before at back to school night. We were very impressed with his teachers and were excited about Garrett’s upcoming school year.
I took the day off so Jordan and I could take Garrett to school on his first day. At first, Garrett was excited to go to school. We parked the car and escort Garrett’s classroom. He was fine until he lined up in front of his class to into the classroom. I think he would have been fine if there had not been other students already crying. I guess crying, like smiles, are contagious. After the students walked into class, the teachers asked them sit on the rug in the front of the classroom. Garrett started crying at this time, but his teacher quickly began the day to distract the students’ from their fears. The parents were asked to make sure to identify what type of lunch their child was eating that day, were the child was going after school (pick up, the bus, or after school care), and to finish completing any paperwork. We then waved good bye and went to the cafeteria to pay Garrett’s lunch bill for the year. I think deep down Garrett really likes school despite the fact that he claims there are “too many rules.”
Unfortunately, I think I have a photo erasing fairy living in my computer. I have noticed that I have several pictures missing from my external hard drive. Garrett’s first day of kindergarten pictures are among the missing pictures! This makes me really sad, but at least I have his kindergarten bridge program.
