Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Last week I chaperoned Noah’s kindergarten class on a field trip to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Jaden.

Jaden and Victoria.

Admittedly, it was a little late in the season, and not the best day to visit the garden.

Elijah and Jonathan found cool stuff anyway.

Owen and Margaret

Snack.

Heidi

The crew.

A couple weeks ago, Nana and Grampa Holt came down to Brooklyn for a visit, and we got to bring them to the Fall Festival for Noah’s school PS133.

After buying a bunch of tickets, Noah focused in on what was important.

Next up, Mom and the spin art machine that Ben lent us.

Ninja style sliding.

Horse ride.

Pony ride.

More sugar.

Helping mom.

Later, at our apt, making “Shrinky Dinks”.

Pretty cool. You color them, then put them in the oven and they shrink to 1/4 their original size.

Before school, with a “rollie pollie” in his bug case for show-and-tell.

After school, doing homework for the first time.

Life keeps getting more real for a 5 year old.

Emotional day. First day of kindergarten at PS133. I didn’t get it, what was the big deal? Kate even had to convince me to go with them… I get/got it now.

Moral of the story, don’t let that business suit keep you off your BMX bike. Ever.

We picked up some more team members.

Waiting in the cafeteria for Noah’s teacher.

Showing Nana T. and Opa the new school supplies.

Ms. Gamory (in the back with the yellow sweater) addressing the class.

We weren’t sure who we would know at the new school, but then we saw Selah and Samantha who were both in Noah’s pre-k class.

Saying goodbye.

The first day was short, and went real smooth. Noah adjusted quicker than we did.
