The first day ... again

Yesterday was the second first day of kindergarten for our house.

Andy started his academic career with little trepidation. He got a little overwhelmed (and shy) with all the people (every kid had at least two parents in tow). He had been pretty excited about the big day, but was getting more nervous as the morning continued.

The parents were asked to stick around for the first 30 minutes to go through some activities with the kids. Andy was getting more and more freaked out.

But then, one of the activities involved taken a specific number of food items and putting them in a snack bag ... five pretzels, two cookies, etc.

Andy saw the items and at the end of the row -- right next to each other -- were M&Ms and marshmallows. Andy's fav. His face filled with a huge smile and I realized he was going to be just fine.
