First Day of School...Kindergarten Edition

Pin It

Kindergarten.

Do I seriously have a Kindergartener on my hands?  

I still can't get over that fact.  But I really do have a full-fledged elementary school-aged little boy...sigh.

To start our school year off right, we had ourselves our traditional Back-to-School breakfast...pancakes!  And mini ones this go round.

The big school boy received a special plate full, 3 stacks high, just for him.  

The flags also worked doubly great as stoplights for his superheroes and police cars before school started.  

We tick marked and measured.  Accurate height readings are a must on the first day of school...and on the last as well!

 Then we headed outside to take pictures...

 And more pictures...

Until that big, yellow bus made its way down our street stopping right in front of our house, such service I tell you.

This momma held back tears.  While Daddy was awesome and came home from work to video record the adventure.  And the girls were jumping for joy, they wanted on that bus so badly.  Don't you love how Eloise put on her dress backwards, lol...my fierce little independent!

At school (yes, we drove to school--even though he took the bus--just to get a few more pictures!), backpacks were left on their class line and those new little Kindergarteners got a chance to take the playground for a spin before their day got started.

Little sisters were sad and mad that they couldn't play.

Soon enough it was time, we waved our goodbyes and he was off to learn.

 A few hours later the bus pulled up and this whirlwind of energy bounced off...

Success!  He had a great day. 

Homemade brownies with chocolate frosting were waiting at home.  The chosen after school snack of this big man on campus.

 A smile of approval says it all.  A very good day indeed.

And next week we are doing it all again Pre-K style for Little Miss P.  

My how time flies when you're a momma.

Thanks for stopping by today!

XOXO,
