I had to stay at work until 5, so I missed Jet getting off the bus, but both boys happily told me about it.

Since he'd done so well on his first day of school, Jet got to pick where we ate and he picked, as usual, the Souper Salad. So, over salad, they two of them talked about all the things that happened.

Jet loved that, at one point, "We were all coloring and we got quiet! So the teacher said, 'Wow! This is just your first day of school and look! You're all QUIET! You're doing great!'" And he fell over giggling at that. "We were actually quiet!"

At one point, John was trying to untangle the number of stops Jet had to wait through to get home or to school and he and Jet were mixing up which way who was talking about what and John said, "But, when you got off the bus you told me there weren't any stops between the school and home!"

"No I didn't!" retorted Jet, "I told you I made my hat!!"

Ah... and I used to think computers were too literal. Ah hem.

Jet's hat was probably the biggest heart attach inducer of the whole day. He came home wearing a little crown that said, "CLASS OF 2019! This is my first day of Kindergarten! So welcome me to Eagle Crest. I'm going to be in the class of 2019!" AGGH!

Aggilty.

Eeee! They look to the future, don't they. :)

Yay for happy Jet and excellent first day! I'm so glad school is a happy thing for him and not a scary one. That's awesome.

Kinda scary.

Jet's gonna be an adult just about the time Night City goes all to heck in a handbasket.

Hopefully his future is much brighter than Johnny Silverhand's...

:-D

Doesn't all the Shadowrun stuff kick in around 2014? ;-) Jet may just graduate with some Elves, Trolls, and Orcs. UGE, indeed...

Lessee. 8 years from now, Jet will be 13.

What 13 yr old boy wouldn't love to turn into a huge, horned, gnarly, very-strong troll? :)

Exactly.

Aiee...

It's not possible!

I remember seeing Jet when I'd pick up Owen in the rec. ctr. baby sitting, and seeing all of you play in the leisure pool...You guys are the cutest family... It goes by so fast doesn't it!? I took Owen to Souper Salad all the time till he went to kindergarten. It was always more of a me and Owen lunch thing; Elthar never got into it much. Is Thomas the Tank Engine still big? Seems like it faded right before kindergarten for Owen. It's kinda sad that Graham will probably skip that whole stage. He is so focused on what Owen is doing, he's already messing around with Owens transformers...sigh.

It does go *so* fast!!

Thomas the Tank Engine has fallen by the wayside. Luckily, the family that lent him the train table got a baby boy and they asked for the table back and Jet gave him most of Jet's trains as well. So the toys are still well-loved and used. *grin* He'll play with them a bit, now, but they're not nearly the motivator that Legos are now. *sigh*

SEE? Didn't I tell you, before you knew it he'd be toddling off to college?

Exactly! *grin* Aiee...

Even conceptually actually graduating and toddling off to college is just Aieei!!!
