Kindergarten: The School Supply Drop Off

Who knew there were so many facets to starting kindergarten? Friday was school supply drop off day. I am happy to report we conquered school supply drop off without incident. No tears, no screaming, and no breakdowns. (Well, okay, there may have been one wee little incident. Just a small matter of my mistakenly setting off my car alarm in the school parking lot when I thought I was locking the car doors. My life is destined to be a constant spectacle.)

I liked school supply drop off day. I think it went a long way for helping Aidan feel comfortable in his classroom and with his teacher. We were told supply drop off was from 10-11 a.m. Fortunately for Aidan, I am a slacker Mommy and we arrived at approximately 10:55. By then, all the other kiddies and over achiever mommies had come and gone, leaving us alone in the new classroom with Aidan's new teacher. I wish I could say I planned that. Yep, I did! I did! (Pat self on back. )

After the supplies were all taken care of, we were off for a hand modeling gig for Aidan at Fisher-Price. I still giggle when we arrive and the stylist is all lotioning up his hands and filing his nails. The humor in this never gets old for me. Coming soon to a toystore near you - Aidan's hands will soon be featured on the package of some pirate mountain thingie. We also caught some of his earlier work at the Fisher-Price store. His hands are on the boxes of the shake and go planes. It's beautiful work, I tell ya. My hand famous little boy.
