first day of kindergarten

This morning marked Jake's first day of kindergarten. Yesterday we got to see his classroom, and meet some of his classmates. Jake had no problem jumping up onto the bus; and his mother and father did OK too. After he pulled off, we retreated home to care for Eli (who's starting a new preschool today) and to utilize the "Parent Survival Kit" provided by his awesome teacher - Mrs. Colby. The kit has kisses, a nice note about how she'll care for him, Kleenex, and tea to calm our nerves.
