First Day of Kindergarten

I can hardly believe it, but on Tuesday Tyler started school. He had been reading a book I bought him called "Kindergarten Rocks" and was pretty darn excited about going. It was especially nice that Al was home to be there for the day. We walked him down to school, hoping for the best but really not knowing how he'd react to the actual start of school. We were both pretty surprised that he showed NO hesitation at all once we got there, and got right in line with his classmates. A few short minutes later and my baby was walking into school to start his career as a Kindergartener!











After dropping Tyler off at school Al and I went out to breakfast with Jason. A nice treat.

After a very short nap Jason woke up pretty cranky, but was able to enjoy a rare quiet nap in mommy's arms.

At pickup Tyler came bounding out of school. He talked NON-STOP the whole way home about his day. To wrap it up, they had library. Very exciting. You can only take 1 book out. Bummer. Olivia, his friend from this summer, is in his class, but they didn't play much. He REALLY likes Mackenzie and Adele. They talked, apparently quite a bit. His teacher is nice. He didn't have enough time to eat all his snack because he was too busy talking (shocker). The other kids reportedly all had juice boxes, while he had water. He wonders why they don't have kindergarten on weekends. And on, and on, and on.

He came home and showed off all his paperwork and stuff to my mom. He was so proud of himself! What a great start to what will hopefully be a great year!

That poor boy next to Tyler in line does NOT look happy. I'm glad that Tyler enjoyed school so much and had so much to tell you. They have so much fun, sometimes I wish I could go there instead of to work. LOL!
