Kindergarten Already???

Today we had Ashton's kindergarten orientation. He's my baby, so it just seems like he's still too little! He will be young for his class though, where Brayden was older for her class, so she seemed way more mature. But Ashton is definitely ready and just can't wait! (Me too, ha ha!) As crazy as he is, Ashton loves to learn, and thanks to his sister, he already knows a lot. He is starting to read, knows shapes that I don't even know what they are called, and loves doing math problems. That at least makes me feel like I don't need to worry too much about how he'll do...just as long as he can sit still and not talk too much in class!

During orientation, they divided the new kindergartners up into groups and they got a tour of the school while we were being spoken to by the principal and other teachers. Ashton came back with a book, pencil, workbook, and said he got to have milk and a cookie in the cafeteria - he seemed so pumped! It was funny, Brayden's current teacher, Ms. Cummings, ended up being the teacher in charge of Ashton's group. She came up to me afterward laughing at how night and day Brayden and Ashton's personalities are. I always thought it was going to be interesting for everyone at the school who knows Brayden to see the contrast between her and her brother! Knowing how Ashton is, I'm sure they will all get to know him really quick!

Here's my little stud muffin kindergartner with his stuff from orientation...

Yeah, he felt like pretty hot stuff after today!
