Kindergarten Baby

When did my baby turn into this big boy?!

New Spiky Doo for Big Boy School!
 

It's hard to believe Justin's turning 5 y/o in a week and is off to kindergarten this Fall. AND, he's going to be a big brother in a matter of weeks! So many changes, so many memories.

While we live in Ypsilanti, we chose to apply to Ann Arbor School District as a School of Choice. Happily, Justin was accepted, and will be attending Mitchell Elementary. About a month ago we met with the principal and received a personal school tour. We also attended the end of the school year ice cream social, yum! Justin was a little nervous, but so excited. In addition, his little friend from preschool, Gabriel, will be joining him at Mitchell. I am sure this will be helpful to his adjustment.....but it's also helping mommy emotionally to know he'll have a little friend joining him.

Last week, J had his pre-K doctor's appt last week and aced it. So brave, so smart! He's 40 lbs. and according to the doctor at the rate of his height and weight he'll be about 6 ft tall. He passed his hearing and vision tests, had his blood pressure taken, was able to identify his shapes, numbers, opposites, etc and was able to spell and write his name. He was so proud of of himself (and of course, mommy and daddy were too....In fact, mommy cried she was so proud-stupid pregnancy hormones, haha) And, at the end of his visit he was super excited to receive his special treat, a book! Out pediatrician's office is part of a reading program to which every child receives a book at their annual physical. Of course, he also gets to pick out stickers.
