First Homework Project

The first few weeks of school, Pierce had his first homework project to complete. His "I am" poster!

He had fun coming up with his "I am" areas and putting it together. They will be cut up to make a book and will get to take turns with each classmate bringing each one home. He can read it to us and we can learn all about his new friends that we hear so much about!

Stomach Bug

I thought big school had worn Pierce down by mid-week if the second week when I found him snoozing on the couch...an extremely rare thing!

I later realized he was sick with stomach bug and had a mess to clean up in the living room. Luckily, it didn't last but 24 hours!

Buddy Time at the Gym

These Dayschool buddies get excited when their mamas are at the gym at the same time. They are at different schools now and love to see each other. And, they don't complain about being there because time flies!

Big Week

After a big week at school, we celebrated with donuts and a little extra sleep time. My early riser woke up super early all week. I heard lots of people talking about dragging their kids out of bed...not around here!

Kindergarten Rocks!

Pierce was super excited to wear his "Kindergarten Rocks" shirt on Friday after his first week!  This expression is truly how he feels about school. He really does think it rocks!!!

First Day of Kindergarten

Since Pierce has been in school for at least 6 weeks or more now, I guess I should post about it!  The dreaded first day of Kindergarten approached and this mama couldn't believe it was already here!!  The little boy was so excited it made me being sad about it diminish a little.

 

 I was a little worried about him riding the bus home the first day but he jumped off LOVING it!  I asked him what his favorite thing was about school that day and he said, "THE BUS!!!".

 Pierce was much more nervous about his first day than I had anticipated he would be.  He was so worried that someone would be mean to him.  I gave him this little heart to put in his pocket and told him that he couldn't take it out, but if he started thinking about mommy and daddy just to reach in his pocket and grab it.  It would remind him how much we love him and how proud we are of him.  I asked him after school if he needed it and he said, "only two times".  I asked him if he wanted to take it the next day, he said "I don't need it, but you keep it mom.  If you start missing me don't forget I love you!"

Since we are well into Kindergarten now, I'm happy to report that he still loves school, adores his teacher, and has made lots of new friends.  He even wishes he could go on Saturday to see all of them!

Getting Ready

The day before his big day, we had everything ready including two fun books for bed that night and his new Kindergarten Rocks shirt for the week!  He was not excited at all....can't you tell?!?!
