Jake goes to kindergarten

Over the course of the past couple weeks, Jake has been orienting at Ma'ema'e. The schedule is one bound to make working parents tear their hair out:

Monday: Boys 8:30 - 10:00
Tuesday: Girls 8:30 - 10
Wednesday: Boys 8-12
Thursday: Girls 8-12
Friday: No school at all...

....or some such nonsense.

Back when I WAS A KID mom and dad just dropped us off the first day, kiss on the cheek, buh bye - kindergarten time. But you try and tell the kids today that, and they won't believe you (thank you Monty Python



But Jake was ready....
Pencils? Check
Folders? Check
Erasers? Check
Apron? Check
Crayons? Check
Watercolors? Check
Favorite dinosaur t-shirt? Check
Sauropod toy (saltasaurus if you are keeping track)? Check




One last hug from Mom for good measure then it was time. Fortunately he has two friends from preschool in his class (and he and Kaela are the two little lovebirds - oy) so he'll be fine.



Lily was stoked to start school with a messenger bag that she'd been lusting after for months.



Jake? He's just psyched.
