First Day of Jr Kindergarten

It's official, we're off to school, and with a great start.. Gummy did amazingly on today's school drop-off.. He was all smiles (showing his dimple!) and there were no tears (nor momma's nor his).. He was very excited to wear his backpack and his new uniform and spend the day with his teachers.. He also is lucky enough to already know some of the children in his classroom, and his best girlfriend, Tamara, is also with him.


We chose to hold him back one year because of his Fall birthday and some sensory issues that put him on a small disadvantage (emotionally) against other older children.. He's extremely smart though and it's pre-reading and obsessed with numbers and can count until past 100 and can read any number up to the thousands.. He can also write based on the sound of the letters and he's very inquisitive and interested in learning new things. During the summer he matured a lot and he's talking now in English and being more socially involved. He still has a lot to mature socially though and we still have a lot to work with his reactions to noises and textures.

I'm however very proud of him because aside from a few little quirks and obsessions, he's incredibly sweet, smart, obedient, respectful and, dare I say, well behaved!

Go on Gummy boy!! there's so much to learn and the road ahead is filled with delightful experiences and lots of new discoveries..
