The Kissing Thing
Last week at dinner, Anna was talking about her friend Brandon. She explained how nice Brandon is to her and how he plays with her when no one else want to play with her.
Then she said, "and sometimes we go to the secret place and do the kissing thing."
Mommy and Daddy got veerry quiet.
Anna explained, "I kiss him on the cheek!"
Mommy and Daddy are only slightly less freaked out. Are there any all-girl preschools?

Some comments from Ben about his first day of Kindergarten
Daddy: "What was your day like?"
Ben: "Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, go on a journey, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, go on another journey, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, go wait for the bus. There was a lot of sitting."
To Anna: "Anna, wait until you get to go to Kindergarten and see how cool it is!"
On activities: "There wasn't enough coloring. We need to have more coloring."
To Daddy: "There's a potty in the room and a red and green light and you have to put on the red light if you're in there and you can't go in if there's a red light. One time I forgot to put on the red light."
On lunch: "I had a big bowl of watermelon! And some chicken nuggets."
Mommy: "What about vegetables or potatoes?"
Ben: "They had some of those, but they weren't the kind I liked so I didn't eat them."
On PE: "There was this really cool wall with plastic things on it that you could climb up. You were supposed to climb to your animal. I climbed to a rooster."
On the classroom: "There are tables, and each table is a color. Mine was green and had green stuff on it. Green pencils, green pencil boxes, green chairs .... There was a yellow table with yellow chairs and a red table with orange chairs. We don't have any red chairs."
Ben was up early today, ready and eager to go to the bus stop and back to Kindergarten.

First day of school
Today was Ben's first day of school. His first day riding the bus to Sope Creek Elementary where he is a brand new kindergartener.
He had some trouble sleeping and was very excited, if a bit sleepy this morning. Mommy cried and Daddy took pictures. Now, we're all waiting for him to come off of the bus at 3 o'clock.
We're very proud and a little bit sad that our little boy is growing up.

Shark Boy
Ben has a very loose tooth in the front on the bottom. He's been wiggling it, but it won't quite come out yet.
This hasn't stopped the new tooth, which has come in behind the existing tooth. Ben looks like a shark, with rows of bright shiny teeth.
