Highlights from Kindergarten {Day 1}

David....
- He loves his spot at the yellow table. He was a little disappointed at first to not get a seat at the blue table because that's his favorite color, but yellow turned out to be pretty great.
- His class has 2 pets: a snail and a shark. They named the shark Darko. Sharky was the runner up choice.
- I thought he had gym class on Wednesdays. He says he didn't today, but he did go to a room with a different teacher and they played games and the room smelled like big kids. Pretty sure that's gym class. ;)
- One of his favorite things today was playing on the slide and climbing wall at recess. He played with another little boy and made a friend. He can't remember his name, but he was wearing a shark shirt and that was really cool.
- He came home singing a days of the week song and talking about rhyming words.
- He has 2 snack times, a lunch break and a rest time. My pregnant self is jealous.
- He called both Mongas and Aunt Ashley to tell them about his great first day at school. 

Max...
- Found a tiny back pack and filled it with junk. He carried it around all day pretending to go to school.
- I gave him an old lunchbox to eat lunch out of. That was a big deal.
- He struggled a lot with missing David. Being a younger brother, he has never been on his own. He really has no idea how to play by himself. He's sticking tight to me and needs lots of ideas and encouragement to go play by himself.
- He painted with watercolors, helped me with laundry and dishes and made a trip to Meijer to buy an ice cream surprise for David for doing a good job at school.
- Monkey had a tragic little accident today. Max, Titus and Monkey were fighting invisible bad guys this morning. Monkey tripped over his cape and got caught by a bad guy and bammed with a hammer. So sad. He got hurt really bad and he had a broken leg (just like Max's little friend, Clara, who is in a body cast after breaking her leg). Max called Aunt Ashley (a paramedic) on his toy cell phone that was stashed in his underwear and she took Monkey to the hospital in her ambulance truck and the doctors put a red cast on his legs and tummy. Monkey was then carried around the house on a pillow so nothing would hurt him and no one is allowed to touch him - for almost 4 hours!
