Let me paint the picture for you of this week’s huge event:
1st day of KINDERGARTEN lots of questions, nerves, happiness, and then came the tears… This was me.
This was Colin…. smiling, happy, loving and excited.
Open house type first day…..RC and I sat in mini bright yellow plastic chairs. We watched as our boy choose a seat next to his best friend on the rainbow mat and held his hands in his lap. All the parents looking intently on their babies, we watched ours as he said the pledge of allegiance, answered questions about letter sounds and smiled back at us with the most excited face. The class was perfect in every real sort of way. Books lined up that have been loved so much the edges are worn, sinks that are mini sized, and crayolas, markers and paint ready for fingers to grab and shirts to get messy. My favorite moment came when his best friend was sad, he took her hand and said ” I’ll take care of you”
When we asked him why he said that he simply said,,, “FRIENDS GIVE FRIENDS A HAND”
If all adults could be as sweet as our kindergartners,,,,,
