We had to do the traditional pose by the front door....
Henry was excited to take pictures because in the book "The Night before Kindergarten," they took pictures before going to school.
Suprised he let me take so many...
until he was done...there's the real Henry...
Mary Taylor and Charles Tucker were just as eager to go to Kindergarten...
They both asked me if they could go with Henry...
Sweet brothers...love catching moments like this....
And we have to show off his new Star Wars backpack... I was a little worried after I ordered this when Dee said that was strange that I bought Henry a Darth Vader backpack, he is only five. So then I got all insecure, I thought it was fine because it was from pottery barn. How bad could it be? So, then my facebook friends assured me it was ok, besides, Darth Vader turns back to the good side at the end anyway, right? He is redeemed...right? So we have decided to go with it!
As I got all the kids in the car, I realized we only had 12 minutes until 8:00...where had all the time gone? Dee was even waiting on us to walk him in. But, luckily we made it just in time, to take a couple more pictures and give him a kiss goodbye. I was definitely holding back the tears at this point...I knew he was going to have a great time, but it was just all the build up leading to this one special day...it was definitely emotional...
and Daddy even agreed to a picture....
o.k. I swear I think Henry grew four years in this picture....can we say 4 going on 8?
Before we finally left, after watching him stand for the "Star Spangle Banner" and the pledge, I had to take one last picture of his book bag sitting among the others....wow, where does the time go? Dee and I have decided we are full fledged adults now that Henry has started school. We even have a car tag with a number on it! Yikes! We can't pretend to be cool anymore...
After we left his room, we headed down to the "Coffee and Tears" party in the library for all the new kindergarten parents. I am glad they had an activity for us, because all the hype leading up to this day, left me feeling like I needed to go to Kindergarten.
As I left the building I thought about Henry opening up his lunch to find a note from me, "wishing him a happy first kindergarten day" like my mother use to do for me.... Mom, does this bring back memories?
When I picked him up, the first thing he said was, "Mom, when can I go back to kindergarten?". I guess he liked it!
By the end of the day, I was exhausted! Getting up at 6:15a.m., when you are used to 8:00a.m. is quite a stretch, especially when you don't go to bed until 12:00a.m. because of the sweet tea you drank at lunch. So I am going to try and be in bed by 8:30p.m. tonight, (or now 9:00p.m. now that I am working on this post) and then wake up early to get ready for our second day of Kindergarten.
Happy Monday everyone!!
