Kindergarten, Already?

Cole had kindergarten round up last week. Part of me is desperately ready to send him off to school on a daily basis, but part of me wants to keep him a little boy forever (a less annoying one would be nice).

He is definitely ready for kindergarten. Somehow, recently, he's figured out that he should have been in kindergarten this year and keeps telling everyone that. He doesn't seem upset about it, just very matter of fact. Everyone who questioned our decision to wait a year is definitely seeing the light now. He's come such a long way this year. He's starting to read and we're working a little bit on simple addition. I wouldn't have even attempted that with him last year. The only problem is that if it doesn't have to do with farming, he doesn't have much time for it. For example, he had a school project due this week. The kids were supposed to make a rainbow and be as creative as they wanted with it. No guidelines, just a rainbow. My son spent hours Tuesday afternoon drawing a milk plant. He spent 2 minutes on his rainbow and asked if he could be done.
