Bennett is starting Kindergarten this year. It's been a rather touchy subject this summer, because Bennett discovered that Kylee was not going to be his kinder teacher. Kylee is our friend, and she teaches kindergarten. Bennett assumed that she taught everyone kindergarten. I gently broke the news, and he was devestated. He decided if Kylee was not his teacher, than he was not going. It was quite simple for his 5 year old brain.
After several discussions, and a brief stalking of his real teacher (via Facebook and Pinterest), Bennett decided that Ms. Blomgren might be ok. We took this opportunity to go school shopping!!
The Prose Family hit up Target, and Andy grabbed the list. We roamed from aisle to aisle selecting the perfect crayons, markers, folders and notebooks. We then discovered that we had grabbed the wrong list. Quickly, returning the supplies for Oak Park School, we grabbed the list for Oak Ridge School, and the process began again.
The backpack selection was essential. Only a ninja would select a backpack from Hot Topic. A reversible backpack, of course.
It was a long day, and everyone was tired. The evening ended with the sweetest conversation between brother and sister, as Bennett hugged and snuggled, and convinced Harper she would be just fine at Ms. Kelli's, without him.
