My daughter started to kindergarten yesterday. My wife cried. Bless her heart, we went to eat Mexican yesterday evening (my daughter's request) to celebrate 1st day of school. She had a little handprint of her hand on a poem printed out by the teacher about trusting our daughter to her. Sweet poem. My wife sat there with tears rolling down her cheeks in the mall where the restaurant is. I finally told her, "Look, you're gonna have to stop this or you'll get me started." She was super excited about it, though, my daughter was. She came bounding out of the building: "Daddy, school is AWESOME!" We've been doing phonics lessons all summer, and she's reading pretty well for what she's learned. Good thing about this school, though, is the small classes. There's her and 6 other kids. We'll take that.

Our youngest started Wednesday, his brother and sister had teased him that his classroom was across the hall from the office so he wouldn't have far to go when he got in trouble, the first thing he said to me when he got home was "I didn't have to go to the office once!"

When he first got home Rose said he went to the cabinet got out a jar of peanut butter, went to the drawer for a butter knife and grabbed the loaf of bread and proceeded to make himself a peanut butter sandwhich. She asked him what he was doing and he told her, she offered to do it for him and he said "no I'm in school now, and big kids in kindergarten make their own"

So did y'all drop them off or follow the bus?

My son is almost 21 and in college but my daughter starts high school in a week and we bought her first homecoming dress today (its in September)...Needless to say, dad is not ready for this at all!

Bill, that's great!!!
