Back to School Night

Tonight was Ryker's Back to School Night. We got to meet his teacher and some of his fellow classmates. His teach this year is Miss Oliver. He didn't get either of his preschool buddies, Cooper or Jonah, in his class, but he does know one little girl from church. We walked in the room and he dropped my hand and ran off to play right away. We got the lay of the land a bit and filled out a few things for the teacher before heading home.

He filled out this form at school:

I especially love his answer to the last question. :-)

I made a special Back to School dinner for us after the event at school.
