navygreenThis afternoon was Kindergarten Round-Up for Jack, and he's been pretty excited about it ever since his big packet for registration arrived in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Of course, being that he has pinkeye at the moment, I checked to make sure it would even be okay for him to attend. Since he had four doses of antibiotics in him at the time, he was good to go.
We arrived at our usual time - 3:05 - to pick up A.J. from school. The boys ate a small snack in the car, and then we entered the school at 3:30 for the Round-Up. I'd already filled out all the forms needed before arriving, so it was a breeze to go through the stations set up around the school. And since A.J. has attended the school for four years now, Jack's already a pro at knowing where everything is, etc. And most of the staff already knows him as well - it's quite the friendly school, after all. :-)
Many folks weren't nearly as prepared, so it took some time to wait for them to ask questions. When the receptionist asked me if the boys were going to attend summer school, she stopped herself mid-sentence and said, "Oh, that's right! You are! You already signed up for it on the very first day!" And we had. I registered the boys for summer school two weeks ago, knowing how quickly the spots fill up.
I gave the school nurse Jack's forms, but I explained that his November dental exam wouldn't be the most current by the time he started school, as his next check-up is May 14th anyway. He also has his physical scheduled for April 17th, so she had me turn in a copy of his current stuff, but I'll bring in the newer forms as soon as his appointments are completed.
Everyone commented on Jack's height, too. It doesn't seem that he is remarkably tall to me, but then again, I'm used to looking at him, I suppose. And as happens everywhere that we go - including each time we go to the school - we hear exclamations of, "Oh my! Doesn't he look just like his brother!" Philip has definitely got some dominant genes. ;-)
