I can't believe my baby is in Kindergarten! Luckily I have other babies to keep me busy so I don't get too sad :) He woke up yesterday morning so excited for his first day. I love how brave he is. He was ready to go!
I really wanted to walk him in the first day and we weren't sure what kind of mad house it would be so we all drove over and Dave waited with the other boys while I took Ben in. They gathered them in the gym and then each teacher gathered her class and walked them to the classroom. Ben's teacher just seems so great, I'm excited for him to have a fun year.
When we got to the gym, we spotted two of Ben's friends from church. One of whom was looking a little sad/ nervous (Heath) but he seemed to cheer up a little once Ben sat down. He and Brady compared backpacks and talked and I think it eased all of their nerves a little to see a familiar face!
I admit I got a little teary on the way out, but I wasn't the only one (and I wasn't the only one standing there taking pictures)! And I can blame the pregnancy hormones right? He's just so darn cute and still so little!
Dave will be taking him to school in the mornings and he will be riding the bus (!) home from school. On the first day, we gave him the option to have us pick him up or take the bus and he asked to ride the bus. So we waited for the bus to come down the road and drop him off. He looked so small coming off the bus. This is all so crazy!
The boys hugged him when he got off and Jon was so cute- he put his arms around Ben's middle and said "I miss you!" in the sweetest little voice. Then in the house, he kept hugging him and saying "I miss you Ben!" It was so cute.
It was so fun to hear him talk about his first day and all the things they did.

I still can't get over the fact that he's old enough to be in Kindergarten. What a little sweetie!
Oh, he's cute! It really is a big deal FOR THE MOM when the oldest goes to kindergarten. I know you are both doing great!
I'm so glad that boys got to see each other before they went their separate ways!! Brady is taking the bus on Wed., but I'm still so sad they won't be on the same bus. Oh, and I'm totally snagging that picture of the three of them, if that's okay with you!
How cute! I love that his little brother's missed him.
So cute! I can't believe summer is over! :) We always had Tyson take the kids to school and then they rode the bus home. Then all the kids wanted to walk home and now they are bus riders cause they say its too hot to walk. Love the pic of the three friends together.
I can barely remember my first going to Kindergarten... and now my last is in 1st grade. What a journey! And you will never be the only teary eyed one there.... no matter which child it is!
Oh little boys in Kindergarten!! I am so glad Brady and Heath were there, too! that's so cute that they cheered eachother up. It's such a shame that none of them are in the same class together :(
Oh what a cute kindergartner you have.
