Believe it or not, today was Riley's first day of kindergarten! We have been counting down the months, weeks and days and the time has finally come - I Riley was really excited for the start of something new! He will be doing morning Kindergarten Enrichment at the JCC in the morning, then he gets to take the van to school and will have afternoon Kindergarten at Hoover Elementary.
I met Riley at school this afternoon for the first day exchange and with his new backpack, his sporty outfit and a big toothless smile on his face, he said that he was ready to go - no hesitation, no tears, no anxiety - just a kid who was ready to make new friends and go on his next adventure. As a mother, what else could you hope for your child but excitement for education and new experiences?
And as it was a big day to celebrate, Riley got to pick where we went for dinner. His choice was pizza and ice cream - he is clearly my child! With a sticky, chocolate covered mouth, he told us that he is excited for another day of Kindergarten tomorrow and I can only hope that the excitement continues throughout the year.
