Big Boy

The daycare was closed for the second half of the week. Usually that means trying to have Jo in the classroom with me, or taking days off to be with him at home. However, our JK teacher was very gracious in allowing him to join her class for those days. So we all packed lunches into backpacks and drove off to school on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

After the usual nervous "something unfamiliar" arrival, Jo quickly made friends with other children and played on the school playground with the fierce delight that he plays everywhere else.

On Friday morning he went outside before school to play with his big sister and her friends. LK was on duty and popped his head into my room on his way by to report that they were tromping about in the bush on the hill, having a grand old time.

Then on Friday he brought home a package of his "work", which he proudly shared with us. He and Fi then commences to spend a chunk of their Friday afternoon "working" together at the kitchen table.

I think that Jo is just about ready for the big transition to school.
