Kindergarten

My babies are growing up! Spencer started Kindergarten this week. He is on year-round school, so he starts in July. He will be off for three weeks in September, though, so that will be nice. Life is different around here now! Carson was one of several little brothers who were bawling as they were dragged back home by their mothers on the first day of school. It's hard to be left behind (for both of us)!

Here he is, ready to go! I didn't get many details about school, but he seems to enjoy it. He came home with a Fruit Loop necklace on. He talked to Grandma S. on the phone today about school. She must have asked if his teacher was smart because he said, "Smarter than you!" (Sorry about that, Grandma--he didn't mean it!) He is learning to read now, and just the other day read seven little stories out of "Dick and Jane." He didn't need much help, either!

The library had some fun summer activities this year. They made these bird hats at one of them. They love to do everything together. Today they were pretending to be space men. Spencer brought a large diaper box upstairs to use as a space ship, so I had to get out a laundry basket for Carson. Then they landed on the moon and were jumping around like moon walkers. That was entertaining (for me)!

Carson thinks it is way fun to get in Spencer's bed with him. I can't imagine what will happen if/when they share a room!

Lots of giggling and "jiffling" as we call it in my family. Jiffling is our word for goofing off and messing with each other until the parents go crazy.

How's that scalp looking??
