This morning we completed our final step in preparing for the big day. Ben had his school physical. It all went great, especially since Ben had his 5 year old shots last year! The doctor checked him all over and gave him a big thumbs up. She had him draw her a picture and write and spell his name. He weighed in at 44 pounds and is 45 inches tall. Not super tall, but hopefully he won't be the smallest in his class. He should be one of the oldest though since he turns 6 in less than two weeks!
We are looking forward to next weeks Kindergarten Popsicle Playdate at his school where he will hopefully make some new friends. Then he starts school on September 8th. He can't wait!
A few people have asked what we are doing about school this year. We decided to enroll him in the public school that is just a half mile down the road. The girls and I will be able to walk him to school every morning. Nick can help too this fall while he is still a full time grad student! We looked into Christian/Catholic schools in the area, but they are just way too pricey-especially considering that we haven't yet sold our house in Kansas! His school has great reviews on the Internet, and the few parents I have spoken to have great things to say about it! Ben wanted to be home schooled for a few fleeting weeks, mostly because he didn't want to learn to tie his shoes! Silly boy. That aside, I don't think I could give home schooling the attention it warrants!
We are looking forward to a great school year!

My first grandchild- what a joy he was then and still continues to be........thank you God for making us Grandparents (or Oma and Pa). Many hugs Benny......
Wow! It doesn't feel like all that long ago when we lived in the "blue building" and Ben was just a baby... He's certainly not a baby anymore!
It sounds like he's got a great school year lined up. Good luck! (Not that he'll need it...0
I agree with Kristen...wasn't he just a baby traveling around Europe with us?? Hehe. I hope he loves kindergarten!!
