I’ve spent the last couple weeks answering subtle questions like, “You went to kindergarten right?” and “What was it like?  Did you like it?”.  Blue’s always been a pretty outgoing kid, but I think the magnitude of “real” school has him a little nervous.  Last night I laid in his bed for about an hour while he asked me to tell him stories of when I was in kindergarten and the friends that I had.  

Today Blue starts his first day of Kindergarten Camp.  I had no idea what that was until the other day, but it turns out they take about a week to prepare the kids for going to school.  A couple half-days here and there, and some parent nights, and then they are ready to go to the real thing.  I think it’s awesome that they do that.  The other night we went to an open house type thing, where we could walk around the school and look at things, talk to teachers and check out the class rooms.  It’s a pretty big school and I could see how it would be a little intimidating to a five year old, but it’s an amazing place.  It seems they have thought of everything.

This whole “parent of kids at school” thing is new to me, but I think it’s going to be awesome for Blue and it’s cool that the school is so close to our house.  I don’t remember too many things about kindergarten, but I remember my teachers name and crashing on a bike and having to sit at the edge of the carpet during story time.

Any memories from kindergarten?
