First Day of School

My baby went to Kindergarten today. I have mixed emotions about it. His teacher is Mrs. Pyper and he was SO excited. I took him to his classroom, hung out with him for awhile and he said, "you can go mom." I teared up a little. I then went back to the school and had lunch with him. He had a massive hot dog for his first school lunch and then we headed out to the playground. He hugged and kissed me, and off he went. I teared up a lot. I watched the clock the rest of the day and headed to pick him up. He saw me pull up, smiled, and came running. I think I'm going to be ok, and I think he is going to be great.


Connor's First Day of School


Holding up a "K" for Kindergarten


Sitting in class, ready to learn

Connor came home so excited to read to us. They made a book in class entitled, "I Can Read Colors." He read it to every member of our family at least twice. I had to laugh because he wanted 2 hot dogs for his after school snack, he already had a huge hot dog for lunch, so I am a little worried he is going to turn into one! I am just so happy he likes school and I hope it stays that way.

He is so cute and grown up! I knew he would do good...after all he has been ready to go to school since last year!!!! LOL I am so glad he can play with Kella at recess. He is such a smart kid. I think it is all thanks to his pre school teacher! :)

Hey. I am trying to figure out a day to come up there. What days do you have school? Tell me what days and times work for you. The only days I absolutely can't do it is Tues and Thurs. And even then it could probably be arranged. Let me know. My phone is jacked up.

I wish I could say it gets easier, but I cried when Devin went to kindergarten a few weeks ago. He's my #3. You'd think I'd be used to it by now.

Connor is such a cute kindergartener!
