and so it begins...

On a rainy, yucky Wednesday, my big boy started kindergarten this week. I can hardly believe it. He had a great first three days and is pretty proud of himself that he never moved to yellow or red on the discipline chart this week :) So are we. Of course I documented the morning...
Here he is with his Mama who has kind of been a mess this week worrying about the new possibilities of exposures to food allergens that come with eating in a cafeteria with a bunch of grubby kindergarteners.
I'm working on dealing with that, though. Eventually, I'm sure I'll be more at ease. Sam's new teacher has been really great at making sure she's educated about his allergies and taking precautions to ensure he stays safe, so that has help immensely.

And really, my kid is so grown up, now! He knows what he needs to do to keep himself safe while learning at the same time. It blows my mind what one little boy is capable of after just five short years!
I'm already counting the days until the end of the year, but I'm sure by the end we'll be surprised about how fast this year will have flown by. I'm sure of this because that's how it's gone for the last five...
