First Day of School

We now have a Kindergartner and a 1st grader. They were excited and ready but I was not really ready to send Kennedy off to Kinder this year. She just seemed too young to go.


Mason loves school and was excited to go back. His Kinder teacher moved up with him and I was so happy about that. She is great and has done well at pushing him to perform at his level.

Kennedy kind of had 2 first days of school because she had a short day with me and then her "real" first day. I was so nervous, she actually looks a little nervous here too. She gave me such a big hug when I was leaving.

On the third day of school she didn't even want me to walk her up to her classroom, she wanted to go by herself. So I stayed parked where I could see her and her tiny little booty walk all the way down that long sidewalk to edge of the school and then I was so worried if she was in the right line. I had told Mason he had to stay with her until she was in the right place, so I had to tell myself she was just fine.

That next month I would always watch her run down the sidewalk as fast as she could toward her classroom. One day the 1st bell rang as she was about half way there and when that bell rang she kicked it into high gear and her huge backpack was bouncing all over the place. She looked so cute as she was dodging the older kids trying to get around to her door before the teacher opened it. I wished I'd had my video camera.
