Is this really happening?

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

This wall-mounted alphabet hangs in a classroom at an elementary school near our house. Supposedly, we have a child who is old enough to attend said elementary school, and who will, in fact, begin doing so Thursday. Also, who’s life is this?

Yes, Zan begins kindergarten the day after tomorrow, and I am in disbelief about the whole thing. We attended a pre-first-day-of-school open house today, and there were all these kids who were Zan’s age in his kindergarten class, but there were also all these old people who actually have children who will be attending elementary school, and—holy shit! I’m one of them!

Well, at least I was the only dad there wearing blue jeans and a pair of Vans. That’s gotta count for something.

Post-first-day-of-school debriefing to come later this week. Wish us all luck.

    First off, I am jealous of the jeans. I would prefer some baggy khaki shorts, but would take jeans.

    Taking your first kindergartner to school is touching. My youngest is now in first grade. The sentimentality of taking your first child to school is easily replaced by the euphoria of having your youngest in school all day. (At least that is what my stay-at-home wife says)

  2. Thanks, Dan. Baggy shorts are my usual attire, but it was a bit chilly yesterday. :)

    As a work-at-home Dad, I can definitely see the allure of having both kids in school all day.
