Today was Eli's first day of Kindergarten. In El Paso, Kindergarten is not required by law and we put Eli in a private school because they are only half-day and most public schools are full day. It kind of feels like he is going back to preschool and I wasn't too worried. The first few weeks took some adjusting, as Eli liked to get up and wander from his seat and he has to do work in school, like coloring, writing and reciting words. Those aren't really his favorite. We worked with him to keep him in his seat and he simply told me that I needed to tell the teacher that we need some new rules. We told him no and he responded "but I am cute and cuddly."
Riley on the other hand, missed Eli terribly and everytime we dropped Eli off, she would cry that she couldn't got to school. It was ironic that she would run to his classroom and race to his seat and sit down and I had to pull Eli to even get to his classroom. Next year Riley, we'll get you in school.
