Merik is officially a kindergartner and loves it. We sent him off bright and early for his first day of school yesterday.
Merik was too excited to sit down to eat breakfast and yes he woke up at 7:10 and left at 7:30am. Does he look a little sleepy? Also they do have to wear uniforms which makes it kind of nice when picking out clothes for the day.
Merik practically ran all the way to school (which is only across the street:) and as I helped him put his backpack away he kept saying "I can do this myself Mom." Then he sat down to color and waved us away. Not a tear on either end. I'm so excited for him! 
He came home happy as could be. His favorite part of the day was "everything" although it was pretty cool to make a special trip to the nurse's office. Apparently he was climbing up the slide while some girls were coming down. Result... a nice bloody nose. Very exciting! I asked if he got in trouble for climbing up the slide and he said "No, but I won't be doing it again tomorrow." I asked if that is what his teacher said and he said yes.

Jaden thoroughly enjoyed be in the big man at home. He wore Merik's clothes and shoes, drank from Merik's cup, and napped in Merik's bed just to name a few of his new adventures. You might think it was because Jaden missed Merik, but no he wants to be just like him and that drives Merik crazy.

I can't believe you have a child in school! I bet Jayden is loving the attention at home and getting to play with all of Meriks toys while he is gone. So fun~
You have a beautiful family! That is exciting Merik is in school, hope you are doing well!
Yahoo Merik!! School is fun! They are so grown up--they think anyways! Cute of Jaden to do everything Merik's way while he was gone. Sounds like a little boy at our house and yes, McKay doesn't like it one bit either! The second kid couldn't have ever been a first child because they rely sooo much on what their big brother (first child) does. Silly kids!
I can't believe all our boys are school kids!!!!! They are growing up so fast!!!!
Merik looks so cute in his fist day of school picture! Glad he likes going!
No adjustment period needed for Merik! I am so impressed! My favorite part was Jaden using all of Merik's stuff while he was gone. Janie does that but only because Eileen won't let her touch ANYTHING! Sadie is beautiful! I wish we could have seen you before we left. We are just barely gettting settled, crazy!
I know what you mean. The day goes by so fast. I love that Noaha and Merik are the same with the unexplained injuries.
Sadie is just adorable.
Can you believe our boys are school kids. Crazy!
