first day of school!

july 27th- first day of school in chandler. i know, it's sooo early, but, it's too hot to play outside, so you might as well be in an air conditioned classroom and be done while it's still nice in may!

so, we got to set up some traditions. we measured toby against the wall in our kitchen- i think the first day of school each year will be a good benchmark for this. then, matthew took pictures of him outside our house- which will change in a few weeks, but, nonetheless.....

can't you just hear him thinking, "it's too bright out here, daddy!"

then, another picture outside his classroom.......

and sitting at his desk......

he's already done his usual "limit testing" of the rules, but hasn't done anything too bad. just normal kindergarten rules adjustment stuff (leaving the line, being too loud in the classroom, etc).

i'm so very proud of my sweet boy- and surprised how much energy he is still coming home with. he's very excited about school (especially the turtles in the aquarium in his room) and has already brought home some great papers he's done.
