Off to Kindergarten...

Oh my gosh, this is so overdue! Cash started half day Kindergarten on September 6th at Santiam Christian School.  His teacher is Mrs. Mason, who has a very sweet gentle spirit.  I have to admit, I was a little concerned Cash would walk all over her but he responds to her quiet gentle directions amazingly well.  I may need to borrow some pages from her play book...  Here are a couple of pictures from Cash's first morning. 

You can't imagine how much I missed this kid.  When I picked him up I told him, "I missed you sooooo much Buddy."  His reply was, "In four hours?"  It's true, he was only gone four hours but that's still considerably longer than the 2 1/2 hours he went to preschool last year.  Here is a picture of him running towards me when I came to pick him up.  When he's a teenager and refuses to be seen with me I'm going to show him this and remind him that there was a time he would throw his arms out as wide as they would go and leap into my arms.

Cash's school has a carnival at the end of September each year.  I took both the kiddos and the highlights for Cash were playing life size Angry Birds and dunking his principal, Mr. Ness, on his first throw at the dunk tank.
