First Day of Kindergarten
Today was Caleb’s first day of Kindergarten. He has been getting so excited about starting school and counting down the days for the last week.
When we got to school this morning, we lined up with his class and went to the gym for the morning assembly.
Then we went to his class. Caleb got to put his supplies in his cubby, look around his classroom and meet his teacher. The kindergarten classes only had to stay for one hour, so the morning was pretty short.
After we left school, we took him to Coffee Hound for a special treat.
It was a great first day of school and I am looking forward to what this year holds for him.

Mother’s Tea 2009
Last week, I got to attend the boys Mother’s Tea events at preschool.
During the tea, the kids sing a couple of songs and then we get to have cake and punch…the boys favorite part. The boys each took in a picture of me for their show and tell in April. They then “wrote” a story about me (the teacher asks them questions).
I also got some sweet gifts from my boys. Camden made a cut tote bag with his handprints and Caleb made vanilla bath salts.
Caleb’s picture and story:
My mom’s name is Tami. She is 40 years old. Her favorite food is probably “pasgetti”, like mine! We like to play Lego’s…like in Chicago. Lego’s are fun. I have three of them. At the park mom likes to slide with me. At home she scrubs the floors. I love my mom because she plays Lego’s with me. Caleb, age 5
Camden’s picture and story:
My mommy’s name is Tami. I call her mommy and daddy calls her Tami. She is younger than daddy…but I don’t know the number. She stays home with me. At home she cleans the potty in the bathroom. She is really good at cooking bread and chicken noodle soup. Her favorite food is cereal…the regular kind. Mommy likes to go to her favorite restaurant…Buffalo Wild Wings…and McDonald’s. She likes to wear her cowboy shirt and blue pants. She plays hopscotch with me and we play duck duck goose. I love my mommy because she gets toys for me and she hugs me! Camden, age 4
This is my favorite event during the school year. I love reading the stories and what great things they come up with to say. It is a little sad to think that this was my last Mother’s Tea with Caleb…since he will be entering kindergarten this fall.
