Kindergarten Registration

Pudge had his Kindergarten registration this afternoon. He had been nervous about going to "the big school" all morning but was fine once he got there. As soon as we walked in, someone said "Oh, this must be another Rinker! He looks just like his brother!" which made him smile. He immediately answered with "Yes and we have even more brothers. There's even one in Mommy's belly!". So he happily continued to talk about our family with the woman who came to show him around the school and take him to the kindergarten class while I (and Pequeño) went through the various stations to fill out all of the registration paperwork and turn in those that we had brought. When we finished, we went to the classroom that Pudge was in and found that both of Little Bear's Kindergarten and 1st Grade teachers were in the room so I talked to them for a few minutes while he cleaned up the station that he was in and picked out a book to bring home. They both said that it was like night and day between Little Bear and Pudge's personalities. Where Little Bear is very quiet, reserved, and hesitant in new situations, Pudge is very outgoing, eager to join the group, and was immediately comfortable in the classroom. He left asking when he "gets to" go back for school which is great.

Class of 2029... Wow.
