The Mason and Waylon Show: Kindergarten!

Well I may or may not be losing my mind... I just assumed I blogged about Mason starting school but looking through here tonight I realized that I only put the pictures on Facebook and they never made it here!

On that note... Mason started Kindergarten! I really can't believe that I have a child old enough to be in school but it's really happening! It's been an exciting and nervous time, the Lord has really been working in me to overcome the fear and putting my little guy in public school, all day long, and it's really becoming quite the joy. He is learning so much and having a really great time. His teacher, Mrs. Koster, is super sweet, she really seems to love what she does.

The first day we all got up bright and early and got camera ready for the big day! And the 5 of us went down to Minden Elementary School together and said our good byes. Mason did great, he wasn't too sad but wasn't too anxious to get rid of us either... it was a good balance. I held it together until he walked in to his class and then I bawled my eyes just like I did the night before just thinking about it. But I've managed to hold it together since then.

When we went to pick him up after school the aide handed me a note and my first thought was "great, already a not home!" but it was just a little note saying that Mason turned into a door handle and bumped his head. It wasn't bad at all she just wanted to make sure that I knew, and I really appreciate that! Other than that his first day went great, he had a lot of fun in his new atmosphere. His favorite thing seems to be when their reading buddies come to visit. Every thursday a 4th grade class comes in and partners up with them and reads together, he just loves his buddy, we don't know her name yet but whoever she is he's a fan!

So there's kindergarten in a nut shell so far!
