It's Official

Dominick is officially a kindergartener and so that makes me...happy, anxious, old?
We met his teacher yesterday and she seems great and the classroom was really cool. He is fortunate to have a buddy from his TK class in there with him as well.

It was interesting being back in a school again-for someone who did not really loovvee school, it was a bit of a surreal trip down memory lane. The smells and sounds were familiar, the decor was largely unchanged and the "size up" was also there...I could see the kids checking each other out and I could see the mommies doing the same (guilty here). Why is that? We count one another's kids, ask what other activities they're in (as if life in general were not enough), observe clothing and behaviors.
Don't get me wrong-everyone was really nice and genuninely interested in the task at hand, which was to give our kids a great start to their 12+ years in academia. It's just that I do not want to go back to school in order for my child to attend so here's hoping the mommies have a great year together!
