First day of kindergarten

Two years after starting kindergarten in Canada, Eddie is starting kindergarten in the US!
He has been very excited. He went for an assessment last week, where he was asked to write his name, among other things. He later told us that he wrote the letters better than he ever had, because he is ready for kindergarten.
They gave him a coloring book to take home, and he carefully colored it in. He is taking kindergarten seriously.


Of course today is also eclipse day! That'll make his first day a bit more chaotic, I think. We're getting about 93% obscuration here.

Human prerogative

Eddie insists that animals cannot paint. I told him about Koko the gorilla and elephants that paint, but he claims I am telling him made-up stories, or talking about a human named "Koko the Gorilla", or just lying. He is ADAMANT about this.
