My New Backpack



Today Ammon got a new backpack. He got it from Jessica. She's coming over to do activities with him to prep him for kindergarten. It's a program through the county neighborhood centers.
The 1st day she brought Ammon this backpack with a composition notebook, crayons, pencils and the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible No good, very bad day. He seemed indifferent to the backpack and supplies, until she was walking out and we caught him looking through it. He hasn't put it down since. He "studies" with his notebook-bugs, animals and books. He sharpens the pencils, uses them a few times then decides to throw them away and get a new one. Simeon stopped the throwing away of pencils since he always needs erasers because his are always gone.
He's added a few things to the backpack-more books and supplies to study with. He is so excited for kindergarten, that he'll practice walking the kids to the corner in the morning with his backpack on.
