Third grade
I'm feeling extremely grateful today for these incredible, healthy children. Tristen is super excited to start third grade: loves his teacher, his school, and learning. I only cried a little this year. :)
P.S. Other first days.

Kindergarten!
Well, it's official. He started kindergarten.
Tristen walked into his room at Thornton Creek and found his chair by the paperboard hand he'd decorated at the meet-and-greet the day before. He'd made it a diagram of metacarpals, carpals, and phalanges -- riffing on some curriculum Hakim had been directing at Interlake. He sat down briefly, then crossed the room to sign his name on a white board that asked, "How are you feeling?" and offered several categories. Tristen wrote his name in the column that read, "Happy, Excited, Good."
Chris and I definitely teared up when saying goodbye. He was just SOOO sweet in hugging us -- and then so independent in taking a seat on the rug for circle time.
Leaving the room, we were half-crying, half-laughing at ourselves when we ran into all-smiles Gep, with Liam. It was just great to see them and know we're in this together. When Emily caught up, we all went down to the cafeteria for a "kiss and cry" social hour.
At pickup, Tristen gave us only a few hints about how his first day went -- and we had to pump him for this!

- I loved it!
- I loved my teacher!
- We had recess THREE times!
- You put Frutabu in my lunch!
- I saw Drew at lunch. I tried to talk to him but he already had a best friend.
- I only made one best friend. I can't remember his name.
