Edison "Seagull"



Spencer had his very first day as an Edison Eagle, though he still thinks he's an Edison Seagull.


Giving me his thumbs up.


Having his after-school snack.

I always loved coming home to a special made snack, I think my favorite was my mom's yellow cake with homemade chocolate frosting. I was feeling pretty good about myself for baking some brownies, only to have Spencer come home, grab a jell-o and pass on the brownies!

Highlights from his first day:
Getting to go to P.E.
Getting a real tray at lunch time (he's in all day kinder).
Searching the school for the gingerbread man, even going into the office.


Check out those fine cutting skills! Thank you Mrs. Kristen!

Great and not so great highlights from my day:
Finding myself asking "do you have homework today?"
Telling Spencer to change out of his school clothes, and realizing I sound like a real mom.
Breaking up the first of many after school fights between siblings.
Finding gingerbread cookie crumbs in the bottom of the brand new backpack (he said it tasted like tomato soup- he was right.)
Tearing up as we walked away after watching him go to class. It was only a little bit, since I could feel Jason staring at me waiting to make fun of me!

He is so cute. We transferd to a new school this year. Now we only only have halfday kinder. I am sooooo happy about that. I am not a fan of all day. Do you like it?

How fun! When Evelyn started K she came home and said her school was bad because they were all Lincoln Lepers. I hope Spencer enjoys school!!!

Do you like the all day? Jesse goes to half day, but we might be moving and it would he would go to all day.

Christen-
The idea of all day kinder was crazy difficult for me at first. I went in before school started and met his teacher and loved her so that helped a lot. Other than that, I've been so busy setting up the store that I haven't been home yet while he's at school to see what that feels like. He seems to be loving it and hasn't been as tired as I thought he would be, so far, so good!

Spence passed on the brownies? He's no son of yours.

Hey! I am so excited to hear the first day went well! Glad for my Spence! He looks great and I am sure he is a pleasure to have in class. That teacher should feel lucky! Miss him! And seeing you! Trenton is doing a great job helping all the newbies ajusting to preschool!
Give him hugs.....
And we will come in and visit that Halloween store! Excited!
