Kindergarten!

The day before...

Open House 8/9/2012

Excited about tomorrow!

Clothes out and ready to go.

Love this idea from pinterest...ask your child their favorites each year and see how they change.

The big day...he chose waffles for breakfast.

Here we go!

Katelyn was not thrilled to be thrown into the car so early.  I think she was a little confused.

Learning where to put all of his stuff when he gets in the classroom.

Sitting at his seat...right before he got teary eyed.  

I have to admit that today was a super hard day for me.  Much harder than I expected.  I'm so thankful I was able to hold it together for him since he was sad when it was time for us to leave.  I made it about 30 seconds down the road before I lost it.  It's early, the school is big, and it's a huge life change for us.  I kept telling myself that those extra two hours + 1 day weren't that big of a deal.  Turns out they are.  Preschool was 16 hours a week and elementary school is 30+! When Katelyn and I were home alone at 8:10 am I felt a little lost.  But I got it together an hour or so later.  I was making my bed and when I finished, Katelyn looked at me so sweetly and said "You finished?  Let's go shopping!"  Ummm, okay!  Chick fil a for breakfast and new tennis shoes still didn't keep me from checking my watch and being one of the first in the carpool line though!  But he ended up having a great day and he has 2 friends in his class with him!  I asked him to tell me one good thing and one bad thing about his day.  He told me the whole thing was good so I guess that's a good sign.  He was really tired this afternoon but that's to be expected.  Just glad we have the weekend to rest up from today and start a new week on Monday!

Absolutely still cannot believe that this precious little thing is in Kindergarten...

Love you little buddy!
