Jonas rides the school bus for the first time tomorrow, off to his first day of Kindergarten. Of course, the program that he did (and loved so much) last year at Mountain Brook was a kindergarten curriculum, but it wasn't what most of us picture. This is the real deal, down to the cafeteria and the lunch money (well, lunch box for now), and playground, and school pictures (OMG).
Sam and I will be at our respective institutions surfing the chaos that begins every school year, so some of his doting grandparents will be there to see him off (Mana and Pop, to be exact). The rest of us will have to hope for some pictures!
Not to be outdone, Julian has escaped from his diapers for all but sleeping at night (yes, even during naps!). Whoo hoo! Of course, he and Jonas can wear the same size of boxer-briefs. They're a little baggy on Julian (2T, for those who know about kid sizes), but luckily Sam knows where to find such things. Just the sort of task she had in mind for herself when we met, don't you think?
Julian responds to sweets already, so gummies have replaced the temporary tattoos that had Jonas looking like a biker who had shrunk in the dryer at this stage. Julian's even used the potty at Mana's house, and at
Whole Foods. Remember Jonas' commentary on that particular plumbing?
