In two days, Connor will start big boy school.
He's been waiting oh-so-patiently (hear the sarcasm?) to go for what seems like years (basically even before he started preschool two years ago). But it's almost here.
Tonight is the open house at school. Grammy and Pappy are coming over to keep the twins for us so that Connor can enjoy his moment. We'll get another tour of the school (Daddy hasn't been there yet) and also get a chance to meet Connor's new kindergarten teacher. We'll also do routine stuff, like pick up our car identification passes, drop off the bags and bags of school supplies from the required list, and even pay some money for things like a kids newspaper subscription, a school t-shirt, and lunch money (optional, of course).
In some ways, it's hard to believe the day is almost here. In others, it has been a long time coming. He's talked about it so often and for so long, that we weren't sure it would ever get here.
Now, let's just hope that he's not like his cousin Jason ( actually, he's Daddy's cousin, but you get the idea). When he went to kindergarten all those years ago, he was excited to go to. After the first day, he said that was enough, he'd learned all there was to know and he wasn't going back!
I don't think that will be the case with Connor, but you never know. It will be an adjustment, getting up early and staying all day instead of just a few hours (like preschool). But with at least 12 more years after this one, he better get used to it!
