Tuesday, Sept. 2nd was Ajax’s first day of kindergarten! He woke up in such a good mood, we had breakfast and then outside to take pictures and wait for the bus. When the big bus pulled up Ajax got a little nervous, then the bus driver informed us that kindergarteners for the first day don’t ride the bus, you drive them in. That would have been good information to have, lol. Dave ended up taking Ajax into school and staying till about 10 am. The parents stayed in the classroom with the kids, they did their morning routine and an art project. Then they all walked to the cafeteria and learned some of the school rules. At first Ajax was pretty scared and clung to Dave, but by the end of the morning he was more comfortable. Ajax knew a few kids from Tball and summer camp and that has also helped him. Ajax had a great first day.
The second day of class Ajax did in fact ride the bus. He was so excited he jumped out of bed, but again when the bus pulled up he started to panic and said, no no you drive me to school! It took some coercing, but Ajax finally boarded the bus. The bus driver, Dawn, was very pleasant and showed Ajax that the seats behind her were reserved for kindergarteners, and one seat had his name on it. That seemed to relieve him and he sat down and waved at me through the window. At this point I teared up a bit. Noomi was very angry that she wasn’t riding the bus with Ajax and kept saying – me ride bus too mom.
On his second day of class, he also lost his first tooth! He had fallen from his bike and knocked it loss about 2 weeks ago and today he said that it annoyed him and he pulled it out. He’s quite excited about this whole tooth fairy situation.
