Jimmy started school on Monday. Sort of. I took him to the school for an hour and his teacher Miss Paul sang a few songs for the kids and told them some stories and then sent them outside with the PTA President (who is one of my backyard neighbors by the way) to play outside. Miss Paul then told us parents about her class and what to expect from it. We also signed up to do Kindergarten Testing (this goes on all week, so no class until next Tuesday) and to volunteer in her class. I signed up to help on Computer Days. Jimmy has three kids from our ward that he already knows in his class and he is pretty excited. We just have to get to next Tuesday. He went in for his Testing today at 10:00 and I think he did really well. I sat in the classroom and filled out more paperwork while Miss Paul tested him. He knew all of his letters and all of their sounds except for the letter X. He knows his shapes and colors. He can Rhyme. He told Miss Paul he counted to 109 the other day and she told him that was great. He can recognize all of his numbers and then Miss Paul asked him to count as high as he could. He then proceeded to count to 109 much to her amazement. She told him he really could count to 109. She is a very nice lady. She was telling Jimmy she has a brother named Richard after he told her his full name James Richard Barrett and I asked her how many brothers the had. She said three and I asked her if she knew Kurt Price. She said yes, he is a good friend to her brother John. I told her that Kurt is my uncle. Its a Small World.

I can't get Jimmy to stop making faces when I take his picture.

This is better but his eyes are closed.

He looks like he is in acute pain in this picture and he wouldn't let me take another, because the sun was shining in his eyes.

You're leaving out the part of the first day of school where you were sick!!! After Jimmy's hour you ended up going to the doctor and I got to bond with Jimmy by going to the park and playing soccer, basketball, and swinging. Then we went to McDonald's and Jimmy actually played in the play land (parents never let him do that). Then we went to Baskin-Robbins and had ice cream.
That was the best part of the first day of school for me, the Grandma!

(Sure wish I could do that with my other grandchildren! Quick! All of you move here and think how I could spoil you all).
Sounds like he's ready to go & that he had an awesome day with his Grandma to boot!
