Cole was super excited to celebrate the 100th day of school. He has a really fun teacher who goes all out and makes everyday a special day. They started talking about this day quite awhile ago and all of the kids had to come up with a collection of 100 things. Cole thought long and hard about his collection and with a few ideas from Mom he/we decided to "hatch" 100 little spongy vehicles. So we went to Michael's and bought enough packs of those silly little capsule things you drop in water and they turn into whatever the package indicates. In this case they grew into trains, planes, cars, etc. Cole and Carson gathered around the tub and had so much fun throwing in the little capsules and waiting for them to "hatch". It took a lot longer than I thought it would but it was a fun activity for both boys and good counting practice for Cole.
At school his class had a big party and the parents could come. Carson and I went despite my better judgement that it was naptime and Carson could possibly have a meltdown because Cole really wanted us there. He showed us around his room and the kids ate 100 day cake and played some games. As it was time for the kids to settle down and show the Moms and Dads what they were learning Carson decided to get crazy and so it was time for us to leave.
Cole said it was the best school day ever! Everyday I am grateful that we made the decision to switch schools. It has been such a huge relief to see him love school again and be a happy fun-loving Kindergartner.

Cute, cute pics! Our 100 day is coming up - we aren't allowed to bring younger siblings though and J can't watch Sawyer for me - so I'm bummed I'll miss the party :( Especially because each kid is sending 100 pieces of candy to share...I could go for that...ha!
Glad you are loving Cole's new school and that it's such a good fit for your family! Yay!
That was a great idea! I'm so glad he is loving his new school.
how fun, Grif was sick on 100th day, and the next day and the day before so we have kinda ignored that it even happened! :> Glad cole had so much fun!
what a fun 100 things idea. The party looks fun!
That looks like so much fun. I'm glad you and Cole are having a much better experience. Cali told me this morning that she's been in school for 91 days.
