His First Day...

The day finally came... I can't believe it! My oldest started Kindergarten. Seriously, it seems like just yesterday that I held him in my arms for the first time. I remember not sleeping at all that first night in the hospital because I couldn't bring myself to put him down... I wanted to memorize his every detail. He has been so excited to start Kindergarten and I know he will do awesome. He's such a smart kid! I'm so excited for him to learn and grow and make new friends.

They had a cute area set up to have pictures taken with them before they started class, so we got a family picture taken. Hopefully they will send it out to us soon so I can post it here on the blog. They also had "Cookies for the kids to start the day" and "Kleenex for the parents to walk away..." It was pretty cute!

Look at my adorable cute little big boy... got to love my reflection in the glass of the door taking his picture :)

Maddy and his neighbor friend Josh.

Maddy and three of the neighbor kids. There are actually six (including him) that all live in our neighborhood and are all in the same class... should be fun for them! Two weren't there when we took the pictures.

This picture is pretty blurry but I couldn't resist posting... it's so cute! Avery had to give him hugs and kisses before we left.

He found his desk and got right to work... without looking back. I did pretty good to, thought I would cry but I didn't.

One of the things we had to turn into his teacher was this little interview. I asked him the questions, he answered and then I wrote them down. It's pretty cute, I typed it out in case you can't read it...
