First Day of School

 

 

 

 

1) Off we go
2) Nice backpack!!!
3) Huh?!? (Maybe get more sleep, hey?)
4) A First Day of School Poem.

Morning starts with the Meow Clock going off (mistake to let Nolan pick his alarm, it's orange, with a cat face, and meows REALLY loud like a full bladdered cat wanting to get out.)

Then Nolan comes down from the top bunk into my bunk (we are transitioning- I sleep better in the bottom bunk than I did on 10 inches of the king size bed with Nolan's feet in my ribs), we cuddle, and get ready. we are not quite ready to be awake.

Dropping Nolan off, he holds my hand tightly but is really quite unconcerned after about 5 minutes, and says a dismissive "Bye Mom!". Mike has part of this on film. When I pick him up at lunchtime, his is the first face to peek out the classroom door when it opens, he sees me, beams, and hurtles at my legs for a hug yelling "Mommy!". "How was Kindergarten, honeybear??" I love, Love LOVE IT!!!!!"

On my birthday, my friend Andrea and I went to a Fringe play, "Bashir Lazar", directed by a friend of mine, and then went out with the very talented actor and my friend for cheesecake. Then I met Nolan and Mike at the Kid's fringe, which Nolan loves- storytelling, crafts, plays, parachute games - and went for an early supper on a deck.

The other pictures are the daygazing chairs, and the intrepid bears.

This is a pic taken as Nolan walked out from under the "umbrella tree" across the park - not quite in focus but I love the look on his face! We has just been "daygazing" - his word for taking folding chairs into the middle of the park, putting drinks in the cupholders, cuddling teddy bears, and looking at the sky. Then we put the bears in the tree.
