1st day of Kindergarten


Parker getting ready to go to his first day of Kindergarten. He has been waiting for this day for a year now. He has afternoon school, so he keeps asking me if it is time to go. He has probably asked about 25 times now. We are leaving early and walking just so we can say" it is time."
Lining up to go into school. The lady with her hand out is his teacher, Mrs Belnap.

Ready to go to school!







Parker said that the walk home from school was a killer! It was HOT out there.

He said that his favorite thing about school was the cubby for his pack pack.

They read the book" The kissing hand" and "Playground manners". He said that they didn't learn very much. He thinks kindergarten is going to be easy. We will give him a few weeks to see if he changes his mind.

I was so impressed with him. When I dropped him off he gave me a hug and said see you later. I was excitted for him to finally make it to kindergarten. There where other children clinging to their mothers and crying, some mothers crying as they had to leave their children. It was bitter sweet for me. No tears, this is my 5th child sending to school so I guess I am use to it now. I have to admit that the 2 hours of a quiet house sounds good, also.
