On Tuesday, Malachi will start kindergarten. Last night he met his teacher. In total shy style, he didn't say a word to her, nor would he look at things or walk around the classroom. When he got up this morning, he asked if he could go to school. It's Saturday!!! I'm glad he's excited, but, seriously, kid.
His school has classrooms that have an opening between 2 rooms with bathrooms in between. It's a little weird, but I'm finding that is par for the course in this area of Florida. There are tons of books, stuff to do, and a jam-packed schedule. It looks like there are 18 kids, total, in his class.
His teacher seems very nice. She is 8 months pregnant, but the substitute was there at open house, too. I thought that was nice. I just hope that Malachi still likes being there by the end of next week :)
He has to be in the after school program at the school for about 2 and half hours until I get out of work. We had him transferred in the county that I teach in so we would have the same schedule. The county that we live in has a crazy-screwy schedule that would leave little time off together, so we opted for the easy schedule. Now I get to share my 30 min. car ride with a chatty 5 year old instead of being by myself. I think it will be nice....I hope.
We're all looking forward to Tuesday :) Malachi is ready...am I?

I bet you'll find out more about his day in that 30min. car ride than you would ever find out at home. He will have a wonderful first day and SO WILL YOU. I'm glad you were able to get him transferred into your county. That's probably a big relief to have the same schedule. Let us know how it goes!
