Kindergarten Updates

The first day of school, Caleb came home and brought me one of his favorite books. He said, "Mommy, I need to write my name in this book. I'm going to learn to read it in Kindergarten."

"Do I have to go to Kindergarten every day?"

"We don't play in Kindergarten."

"I don't close my eyes when we have to lay down." (if he only knew how lucky he is!)

"I spoke Spanish today!" He was proud of this. Their teaching it this year starting in Kindergarten. He's so excited he already knows it and Angel's excited he'll have to use it! Sooo cool!

It's soo funny because apparently, mommies know nothing about Kindergarten! Now all of the sudden, his teacher knows more than I ever could. He always says, "Mrs. Baugher says...."

He loves seeing Alisia in the halls. He comes home and tells me how many times he saw Alisia during the day.

The first day of school.
What a sad day.
Well, I'm not too sad. I'm glad my big boy is so excited about being there.

I am thankful for the opportunity of sending them to a school where they can pray for each other, their teachers encourage them in the Word, and they memorize scripture. It challenges us to make the home the primary place they recieve their biblical foundation, then school and church just reinforce what they learn at home.

"Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
Duet. 11: 18-19
