Well, there he is. All handsome and big. This is the first day of kindergarten for Joey! A fun part of going to school is the new clothes and new shoes. So here are Joey's cool new kicks that he was VERY excited to wear!
He will be going to p.m. kindergarten from 12:15 - 3:00 at the same school as Matthew, Benjamin Franklin Charter School. (BFCS)
It is very cute to see him so excited, clutching to his stuff!
Finally there! In front of Miss Arnold's classroom! He was able to put his stuff down, so, let's go to recess!
Although he doesn't know how to swing by himself I am sure that peer pressure will help him to learn. He was proud of himself for just getting ON the swing by himself! Good job Joey!!!
The look on his face was so cute, yet sad. He was excited until it was time to line up. Then he looked very nervous. This is the face I got when I told him to smile! At this point, I want to go in there with him!
Once it was time to go in he marched right in without even looking over at me! That made me feel better about his confidence in himself...that he knew he could do it!
A lucky picture. I clicked this just as he saw me for the first time at the end of his day. (It's a little out of focus) His folder is over his head for shade. It was over 100 and humid! Too hot! But it didn't seem to put a damper on his first day of school.
So...no...I didn't cry. I expected to, but I think I was so focused on him and how he was going to do I didn't even think about me. After we got in the car to go home after school here's what he said, "I can't believe I had my first day of kindergarten!" Then I asked him what he learned and he said, "We did so much new stuff today, I can't remember it all!" So day 1 was a huge success!

Then came day 2. It started off great. I walked him to his classroom and he was happy. Later that day, around 2:15, I got a call from the school nurse that Joey has a fever and needs to be picked up. When I got there he was asleep on a little bed. So sad! He had a fever of 101.8 and a headache. His teacher said that he was shivering and complaining that he was cold. That was weird since it was over 100 degrees again. So I let him sleep until school let out, we got Mathew and went home. There he slept from 3:30 - 6:45 and I decided that he would need to stay home form school the next day.
So he gets sick half way through the 2nd day and misses the 3rd day! What a way to start school Joey! So now it is Friday and he is home. The fever is better and he is acting more lively. So we are hoping to see him off to school on Monday!!!
