He picked out exactly what he wanted to wear!
Benson and Britton
Benson started school on August 25th! It was so fun getting him up for his first day and making him his breakfast of choice (pancakes of course) and then doing the pictures and finally taking him to school! He was so excited! We got to school and he walked right into his classroom, we did the "I love you" sign and then he was good to go. I thought I was too until we were half way down the hall and Britton starts SCREAMING that I am leaving Benson. It all of the sudden hit me hard that this was hard on me, even though I was so proud of him my baby was now starting a new chapter in his life. WOW! Britton continued to scream and cry the whole way out of the school and the whole way home. He was so upset that I had left his older brother when I had specifically told them that I would never leave them. OH MAN!
All day long Britton and had a hard time with benson gone. All day long he asked if it was time to go pick him up. All day long it was BENSON BENSON BENSON! And then we finally go and get Benson and what does Britton start in on? FIGHTING! ARGH!
Benson loves school though! He has gotten a THREE everyday which means he is PERFECT for his teacher. She has a number system and if you get a THREE you are perfect for the day, if you get a two it means you needed a reminder, if you get a one it means you were not good at all and did not listen, and if you get a ZERO... well it pretty much means you will be sent home and meeting with the principle. AHHHHH! Let's hope that never happens. Benson has made some cute little friends and apparently one of the little boy friends he has made has a girl always after him kissing him so Benson comes home and tells me all the funny stories about them. AHHHHHH, young love!
Benson worked so hard to be ready for school. He knew how to count to 100, how to recgonize numbers 1-100, he knows all the sounds of his ABC's and how to recognize all capitals and lowercase letters, he can tell time on a clock (using the hands), he can tell the days on a calendar, and the list goes on and on. He LOVES to learn and LOVES that he feels so smart. He is one of the only kids that can write his first and last name and he thinks that makes him THE MAN! In my eyes he is THE "little" MAN!

I'm so proud of Benson! We miss you guys a lot at KinderCare!
How cute! I can't believe you have children that old. It feels like just yesterday when we were in Spanish with Mrs. Kroll!
WE MISS YOU GUYS TOO MEGAN! The boys still ask about KinderCare and all of their teachers!
OH MY OH MY I love those little boys of yours. I can not wait to hug and kiss them so much. They are going to be sick of it. I still can't believe that Benson is in school. Where has the time gone? He is sooooo smart and hopefully his school allows him to continue to learn and grow even though he is ahead of his classmates. You are such a good teacher!
