Back to School Preparations

We have been gearing up for Kindergarten around here! A few weeks ago, William and I went to Target to pick up his school supplies. We also started looking for a backpack, and finally found a Lightning McQueen one that he loves! We also went on our second annual back to school lunch/shopping date. We drove up to GR and Alex got to spend some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa. William and I had lunch at Red Robin (his choice, same as last year) and then did some clothes shopping at the mall. We found quite a few shirts and sweatshirts that he liked. He's been wearing some of the short sleeve ones to break them in before school starts.

When we got back from Detroit, we found out that he has Mrs. Grindall (our friend/neighbor/mom of his buddy Parker) and Mrs. O as his teachers. He was pretty excited to have Mrs. Grindall even though it meant he would not be in Parker's class. Last night, we had an open house at Moorsbridge. The teachers weren't there but we were able to get into his new classroom. He seemed to like everything and asked if we could stay and play in the room. He was also pretty excited that there were 2 bathrooms in the classroom (Tarzan and Jane) and he thought they were so cool.
