Kindergarten!!!



Isaac ready for his 1st day of Kindergarten

 

It's hard to believe it but Isaac started Kindergarten last week!  Monday & Tuesday were half days for orientation.  Zach took Monday off and went with me to drop him off.  Isaac was so excited so I didn't cry but to say I wasn't emotional would have been a lie.  Dropping him off made me realize how fast time is going and how little time we really have left with him at home.  In the blink of an eye he will be graduating and heading off to college.  But not just yet!  Zach picked Isaac up from school on Monday and took him to Des Moines for lunch and mini golfing.  Then they came home and played the Wii!  I had to work so Caleb spent the day at our baby sitters. 

 

Wednesday was a day off from school and then Thursday was the first full day of school for Isaac.  Kindergarten is all day, every day here in Indianola.  Isaac wasn't as excited on Thursday morning and there were tears when we lined up to go inside.  Normally the teachers don't wait very long outside but instead take their class inside quickly.  On the first couple of days though they waited until the tardy bell which was almost 20 minutes.  Isaac is a processor so standing in line gave him too much time to think and resulted in tears of fear.  Both Thursday & Friday I was there to console but it completely broke my heart.  We talked to the teacher on Friday afternoon and decided we would just drop him off a little later so he doesn't have to wait so long in line.  Each day this week has been great!  Isaac loves school once he gets there and gets busy!
