The First Day of Kindergarten

So, yesterday was the first day of kindergarten for Owen and Elsa. They aren't in the same class. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet, but I have decided to reserve judgement. Owen has Vance's kindergarten teacher. We're hoping this will help Owen behave every day. Though, I'll admit his preschool teacher said he was a rockstar in class. Sure, there were times he had to be reminded that the class was doing something else and he needed to put down the toy, snack, etc. and join everyone else. But, nothing like the mischief he gets into at home. Phew! Anyway, yesterday was the first day of kindergarten. I flew home after work because I was so excited to find out how everyone's first day went. The kids were excited and interrupted each other continuously to tell me about friends, teachers, recess, hallway meet ups, etc. Then, Owen said the darndest thing. He couldn't "find" his water bottle during snack time. The water bottle in his backpack right next to his lunch that he took out and ate at lunchtime, which was before snack time. So, he had milk. How did he have milk? Did he have money to purchase said milk? Nope. Apparently, my darling Owen finagled the system on the very first day of school and had milk to drink during snack time while everyone else had water. This year is going to be fun, I have a feeling.
