Today was Jackson's first day of kindergarten, so there wasn't so much "back" in the "to school". Though Julie & i were discussing how it doesn't seem like a momentous "first day of school" occasion, since Jackson has been going to pre-school for a few years.
But this was his first day of full-day school. His first day with a lunchbox. His first day navigating halls with big kids tromping through. And probably a score of other firsts that we didn't get to witness within the classroom.
He had a day of artistic regression, drawing a scene of our trip to the Gatlinburg aquarium's shark tank -- without the sharks ("i couldn't remember how to draw a shark"), and depicting himself and Emily as stick figures, when he already knows how to draw bodily. I'm sure that will work itself out in a matter of days.
So, a big day for a big boy. Jackson crashed on the couch a half-hour after dinner.
