kindergarten here we come!

last night's Popsicle party was lots of fun. we met the boy's kindergarten teacher and his classmates.

sadly, none of the kids from his pre-school are in his new class (there are seven kindergarten classes!), but i'm sure he will make new friends quickly.

bff winston will be right down the hall, and i'm sure they'll be arm wrestling on the playground at recess.

it's a whole new chapter. we are leaving the school, kids, parents and teachers he has been with since he was nine months old.

all of these people are our family. our village.

we have taken him to this oasis of love and safety and learning for so long, it's impossible to think it's time to move on.

but it is.

and i know good things are ahead.
