JJ's 1st day of Kindergarten

I can hardly believe J.J. is going to Kindergarten. Sigh.... the school years begin. It's as much as an adjustment for him as it is for me and Danny. Actually, J.J. was really excited to start and has loved going! It's DANNY that we have to worry about! The first day, J.J. put on his back pack so Danny found his to put on. Then we went to the school and J.J. lined up so Danny did too. Then the class was going inside and Danny started screaming and crying that he couldn't go in too! With both arms stretched out to J.J. walking away he screamed, "J.J.!!!!! NO!!!!!!!" He cried and cried and the other moms thought it was cute that he was so upset that he couldn't go in with his brother. They are two peas in a pod.

It's been a few days now and as long as Danny gets to wear his back pack too, he's okay with saying goodbye to J.J. at the door. But as soon as we get home he says he wants to go get J.J.! I guess this is just one of those growing pains that we'll get past eventually. One good thing is that when J.J. comes home and has to trace his letters for homework, Danny wants to too! Since Danny has some speech delay, we figure he may not be able to speak understandably by the time he starts school but at least he'll be able to write!

It sounds like a perfect plan for Danny. I didn't realize that they really teach the kids a lot of Spanish in 2nd grade, we decided maybe Mason will pick up on that. :) Got to love school!
