He's so willing to learn all the time, so I know kindergarten will just be great for him (a little extra structure probably wouldn't hurt much either, huh ;);). He *might* figure out that he doesn't actually know everything about outerspace after all.

There was Jeffrey starting kindergarten AT ER Dickson never having been away from me a minute in his life. He didn't go to preschool either and went from nothign to a full day of kindergarten. He cried the first two weeks and it broke my hear to leave him but I knew that was what life was all about. I so miss the days at ER Dickson. It's a great school and I love how the kids look in their uniforms. Good luck with the separation --- and like me -- you have other boys at home to be with -- have fun!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114599366735415540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740859601979962166.post-86747714360952703102008-08-13T18:14:00.000-05:002008-08-13T18:14:00.000-05:00Thank you for you post.

He's actually a little small, but he just looks that way 'cause he's leaning back against the door instead of standing up straight-it's an optical illusion. :)Alabama Appleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238707597299794714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740859601979962166.post-76318314112375748782008-08-13T00:59:00.000-05:002008-08-13T00:59:00.000-05:00How wonderful that Jos had a great first day of ki...How wonderful that Jos had a great first day of kindergarten.

I can't tell you how much he means to me. He has truely captured my heart. I want him to love school, his Papa told me he can't remember one bad day in school. I want that for Jos. He is so bright and eager to learn. It's all out there waiting for him.

I got all choked up about it. I can't imagine how you felt. I'm so glad he had a great day. I said a prayer for him this morning that day 2 would be a good as the first day. He looks too cute in his uniform. The white shoes are really nice! ;) But they won't be shockingly white for too long.<BR/><BR/>Love you all!Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304777332322943639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740859601979962166.post-4516816231682120102008-08-12T06:39:00.000-05:002008-08-12T06:39:00.000-05:00Liberty, I love this post.

I felt the same way and it was WAY hard when Cecily left too, but as I said yesterday and you said well in your post, you can't help but be excited for THEM to begin a new chapter in their life, and I'm especially happy to be there to see it. <BR/>I too saw Josiah yesterday and he looked like he was loving school. He is sooo cute and oh so smart. He reminds me of my "little" Ariel. So eager to learn. Oh, and Mrs. Ryall is such a sweet teacher. Trust me, she will love Josiah, who couldn't?Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320362667931448197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740859601979962166.post-46671082858648227882008-08-12T00:04:00.000-05:002008-08-12T00:04:00.000-05:00I was just talking to Justin about this earlier to...I was just talking to Justin about this earlier today. I am feeling a lot of anxiety about Merilee starting Kindergarten (still years away). But when I look at you and Steph and realize that your boys have grown so fast, it makes me really scared about Merilee growing just as fast. I was choking up while reading your blog because I have the same exact feelings. Probably because I want so much for my kids to live up to their potential, make good choices, and others to love them as much as I do...although no one can love them as much as their mommy. I wish Josiah luck and you too...Hang in there!!!Lively Luckinbillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178992852044583562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740859601979962166.post-69166515548685988912008-08-11T21:52:00.000-05:002008-08-11T21:52:00.000-05:00Josiah!! did great at school todayI got to pick at...Josiah!! did great at school today<BR/>I got to pick at the door at his class room and one time I had the chance to go in and talk to him and he look just right at home... sweet smile and so cute!!!<BR/>Lisanka:)<BR/><BR/>ps love his hair!!!Parkes Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889601702636169799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740859601979962166.post-23449158530574858532008-08-11T21:44:00.000-05:002008-08-11T21:44:00.000-05:00Wow I cant believe he started Kindergarten what a ...Wow I cant believe he started Kindergarten what a cutie pie!
