Foot-hell Elementary

This is quicky post, but this was just too good to pass up. BEHOLD, my child's kindergarten school picture. He loves it. He asks if he can sleep with a copy of it at night. Needless to say, I got "Rainbow Day" and "Picture Day" mixed up. Maybe I'm not cut out for this mother-of-a-kindergarten-kid thing. Good thing I have a camera of my own!

And too show just how much Xanny loves FootHILL Elementary, he drew a picture of him in front of his favorite school. 

Let me translate:

  I like a school. 
Foot Hell.
Xanny, 5 & 11/12

That's the kind of picture you need to look at when you are having a bad day! You can't help but smiling...or laughing when you see it. The unselfconscious joy of being 5 and 11/12ths.

THe picture also does tribute to your photography --- I don't think (maybe because youv'e never posted) I've ever seen a Xan mug shot...hamming it up for the camera. Say CHEESIE FOR ME! ;-)

What great pictures--both the photographs and the self portrait. Xanny is one cool kid.

The amazing thing is that we haven't even taught him how to "talk like a marmon". He did it all on his own. Thanks for all the comments, ladies. You and I both know that I don't deserve them!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The combination of those two images just made my day.

Xanny is such a wonderful boy, and I am SO happy that I am his Grandma!
He loves Kindergarten just as much as I did. I hope his enthusiasm for learning never wanes......
