Logan Taylor Dyal!
Logan went with me to the 2008-2009 kindergarten registration today. He was so excited! I don't think he quite understood that it was just 'registration' and not the first day of school. As soon as we arrived at the school, he expected to go to Alex's former kindergarten room and see who he thought would be his new teacher, Ms. Dubay - Alex's teacher from last year. Instead, we went to the gym for a presentation by the principal and he slowly started to realize that he wasn't going to school yet.
While the principal talked about the kindergarten curriculum, school policies and answered questions with the parents, the kindergarten teachers took the children on a tour of the school, read them a story and showed them how to make a frog puppet. They also got a chance to go on a bus ride and each was given a Walker-Winter Elementary School t-shirt and a backpack full of supplies.
The children were divided into 3 groups, one for each kindergarten teacher. Logan went with Jessica's former kindergarten teacher, Mr. Ingram. She was in his class almost 5 years ago and I later talked to him about the time that Jessica had me bring newborn baby Logan for show-and-tell to his classroom. I remember how eager she was to show off her new baby brother to her class. Mr. Ingram and I laughed about it and he told me it was the first and only time one of his students brought a real baby for show-and-tell. He couldn't believe that Logan was almost 5 and already coming into kindergarten this fall. (That makes 2 of us!!) We hope Mr. Ingram is Logan's kindergarten teacher next year.
Below is a picture of Logan sporting his new t-shirt. As soon as we got home after registering, he tore off his shirt and put on his new one and has been wearing it proudly all day long.
