First Day of 2010-2011 School Year!

J's lunchbox and bookbag theme for the new school year!

Looking all handsome in his uniform-- checking out his lunch for the day!

All ready to go to school!

Walking into school on his first day of *real* school for 2010-2011

A few weeks ago DSS suggested we send J to private school this year.... Smaller classes and a more nurturing environment.... We agreed. I worked at the private school they suggested about 8 1/2 yrs ago [I was there for about 3 yrs before I left].... So, I felt ok because I knew the school and about 1/2 of the staff. So, we have been sending him the last couple weeks and worked him up to a whole day last week. They were ending summer camp so, it wasn't very structured but, he would get to know his teacher and some classmates before *real* school started. Today was the first day of *real* school... He was so handsome & cute in his uniform.... They are putting him in K4 again to make sure he gets his basics down since he was *uninvited* the last few months in public school Pre-K. For K4 they can wear khaki or navy bottoms and white top. He chose navy bottoms today.... His first day went good. He had a little incident at the end of the day but, overall it was good!

One day down and 179 to go [I think they still do 180 school day years right???]
