His Spiderman backpack. He also has a Spiderman lunchbox and watch. It was a Spidey kind of day.
Hyrum had to take his backpack, too. He was ready for Kindergarten as well.
And here we are outside his school. We had to pack a lunch and then we had to eat lunch on the grass because why would you pack a lunch and then not eat it at school?? Come on, Mom.
Finally, waiting for the bus. That was the most hard for me. He didn't even look back. :(
Now a cute story. I got an IOU in his take-home folder the other day for a breakfast charge. At first I was really confused and thought he was telling them I didn't give him breakfast but then I got to the bottom of it. They get off the bus and go directly to the gym where they are also serving breakfast. Sterling, being the curious boy that he is, decided to see what they were serving. The first day was biscuits and gravy and he didn't like that so he didn't get any. The next day they were having a cinnamon bar (don't know what that is, I assume like a coffee cake) and string cheese. He was all over that! I was mortified.
He loves the idea of eating breakfast at school since he goes half days and doesn't get to eat lunch there. So, we had a discussion about how we eat breakfast at home and we compromised that he can take a snack in his lunch box to eat when he gets to school. This morning I packed him a snack with a note that he could indeed eat it (there was some confusion about it yesterday, they thought he was trying to eat his lunch) but he still went to check out what they were cooking. He said it was a hamburger and oranges. Had to have been a sausage biscuit. Anyway, he said he really wanted it but since we had talked about it he didn't get any. I guess I'm going to have send him with money so he can buy breakfast at school a couple times a week. Crack me up!!
Anyways, he is doing great and after one full week of school is asking when he gets to go full days. I'm just not ready for that, especially since I am planning on homeschooling him after this year. We'll see.

Wow, I can't even imagine when Em will go...I'll cry all day. Good thing I've got another 2 years before that happens! My sister started homeschooling her kids (oldest one is Sterling's age). She went to a workshop for it and read a really good book that gave great tips. Let me know if you want the name of the book.
I totally do! This is my year to get it all together while he works on his social skills a little more. I went in to his class yesterday and just felt like it was good but there seemed to be a lot more kids with obedience problems than I would really like. :(
These are some great pictures!! I love the one with Hyrum and Sterling, both have there backpacks!
Maria always wants to buy the crappy greasy food they have there, it drives me crazy! Don't you love how that's their idea of a healthy breakfast - coffee cake one day and biscuits and gravy the next?! Ugh - and people wonder why our nation haa a childhood obesity problem!
On a separate note, are you really thinking of home-schooling?
He is so funny. I can see that he gets his personality from his dad! Ha!
