We have talked about kindergarten quite thoroughly in an attempt to prepare Aric for school in the fall. Aric was excited to see his new school up close rather than just drive by it. When we walked into the building one of the kindergarten teachers introduced herself to Aric and asked his name. He responded with, "I'm Aric and I'm 4". She laughed and asked if he wanted to go with her to see what the other kids were doing. He took her hand, waved goodbye to me, and off he went.
That was my first heartbreaking moment of motherhood. I'm glad we have done a good job in making sure he's secure and independent, but he could have at least hugged me or pretended he was going to miss me.
Aric spent the next two hours, working on craft projects, playing, riding a school bus and listening to story time. I spent two hours listening to the principal give a power point presentation over the upcoming school year.
I'm glad Aric is looking forward to kindergarten...
...and I'll gladly sit through boring power point presentations if I receive more cute photos of my child as a reward.
