1st day of Kindergarten August 31, 2011

I need to write about this day. He slept in till 7am. He never does that. He ate a cream cheese sandwich, a banana, and a bowl of cereal. He drank Strawberry lemonade. He wore a blue shirt and a vest. “James Bond wears vests mommy. I want to look sharp!” He wore his new sneakers. He loved his Toy Story backpack and lunchbox. I packed him 2 cheeses, a fruit bar, 2 juices, and an apple. He was only going for a half-day - no lunch. He put on a green baseball hat before he left. “My look is complete,” he said. He ran to the car. He couldn’t wait to get started. We went into the courtyard with all the other parents. The kids tossed their bags on the ground and went to play in the playground. Three teachers held up signs. I saw the one I wanted. She’s short, juicy, and typically French. She has big boobs as well and a melodic laugh. She just screams Kindergarten teacher to me. She is Ronin teacher. Her name is Madame Constantine. She has a name that has a sound that is not even in the English language.

Ronin’s name was called and he ran right towards her.

“After you left mommy, Madame said it was free play and I went back to the castle. After playing we all got our lunchboxes and had snack. Good choices today mama. I ate everything. Tout! Then we sat in a learning circle and learned about safety. Then Madame read us a story. Then she let me play with an iPad. We have four in the class. We talked about safety again and that we do not want to drop the technology. I made four friends. I know you said that I did not have to make any friends the first day but I did.”
