First Day of Kindergarten

I can't believe it! Caleb started kindergarten at UCC last week! He was overjoyed, his mommy and sister were a mess! Katie cried for a full 45 minutes after we dropped him off! I tried to convince her that it would be great because "we had 3 hours for playing babes, kitchen and painting our nails"! Best of all we wouldn't have to worry about pesky boys sneaking in to play "baby blast off". All she could say through her sniffles and tears was "I don't want to play with you, I only want to play with brother. I love him." She eventually decided to "do art" with me and take her babes to the doctor (they all have a terrible case of the stomach flu). We had a good day, just the girls! But I wish I had had the video camera to capture her reaction when she saw Caleb walking out of his class at noon. Her smile could not have been any bigger, her giggle any brighter, or her hug any tighter! It was priceless!

Don't you love that cheesy grin! He was most excited to go to the reading center where he could listen to a book of his choice on headphones! Pretty soon he will be able to read it on his own. Tonight he read his first BOB book to me. It was awesome, I never thought I would find "the dog had a rag hat...sad dog, sad mag, sad cat" so interesting and exciting!
