Turkey Butt Was a Star &.......

I MISSED IT! Darn it. All last week, we kept hearing on the news to send in your first day of school pictures to the local NBC station. Well, yesterday morning, I was snapping a few pics, and Turkey Butt asked me to send one to the news. I took a quick picture with my phone and sent it in without thinking too much more about it! Well, this morning, I arrived and one of my co-teachers said she heard something about a Kindergartner from McKinney and there was my sweet Kiddo..... she said the anchor people even commented about how his back pack was almost as big as he is....DARN IT!


We are in full back to school mode. Turkey Butt seems to have adjusted pretty well, here are a few pictures from yesterday:

HAD to have the Incredible Hulk back pack...
At the end of the first day (only because I had other issues that morning!)

I am sooo lucky to be able to take him to school where I work! I look forward to catching little glimpses of him during the day and spending time with him after school while we're getting ready for the next day! Today, my class was taking a restroom break in the Kindergarten Hall, right near Turkey Butt's room. I've already scoped out his seat and can see him as we're coming past. While we were waiting today, the door opened and I happened to see Turkey Butt crying. I saw that all the kiddos were at their seats and they were writing. I wondered if he was frustrated or upset about something he might not be able to do. The teacher came to the door and told me they were writing stories about their pets and some friends were crying because they were sad about pets that they had lost. I asked her what pet he was writing about (we haven't lost any pets lately) and it turns out, he was writing about the fish that died 2 years ago... GEEZ! He never even cared for that fish until it died! I fed it, cleaned the tank (only when it was green) and found it gasping at the bottom of the tank one morning. That fish lived for 3 years and survived more than one move, I'd say that he out lived his life expectancy. Anyways, Turkey Butt comes to the door and hugs me and continues to sob about how he misses 'Fishy' (he can't even remember the damn thing's name.... Donkey). It will be interesting to see how this story turns out.....
