It's the First Day of Kindergarten, and oh- oh-oh the fun's begun!

 Today was the first day of Kindergarten for two very special people.  They were a bit nervous and a bit excited at the same time.
 Here we are getting into the van to head over to the school...

Brigham looking pretty nervous about his first day.
Hyrum excited to take the others to school.
Rebekah a little more excited than nervous at this point.

Rebekah is now big enough to sit in a booster seat with a real seat belt, which she is proud of!  (40lbs at last!)
Outside the school looking more and more nervous as the time gets closer.
Hyrum is holding the Cherrios for Brigham- we signed  up to bring Cheerios for the "Zero Hero" treat.


Playing on the slide while we wait for the bell to ring
Hyrum thinks he's a kindergartener when he's on the playground, but doesn't want to go in the classroom- luckily he has two more years before it's his turn.

 
Rebekah got static hair right before going into school, oh well, it looks cool right?





 They both had a good day and had stories to tell when they got home.  They are in different Kindergarten classes, but are both in afternoon kindergarten so they get to see each other at recess and gym.  Hyrum and I were both sad to see them go into their classrooms without us.  Hyrum wanted to see Dad to tell him how sad he was, so we drove over to Daddy's work and talked to him for a few minutes.  Starting tomorrow they will be riding the bus which also makes them a little excited and a little nervous. (And Mama and little nervous too, but the teachers and bus drivers say they will keep track of them and make sure they go the right direction- hope all goes well with that.)

  2. Such exciting times. We just finished our first week of Kindergarten, here too. It's a good thing, but also hard at the same time. I want to know all of the details of his day. Wish I could be a fly and just follow him around while also being myself and doing the things I need to do at home!

  3. How exciting for your kids to start school! Hooray! And I bet it's a bit of a breather for you. I know you've had some rough years with the kids and your foster child and day care, etc. Whew! I bet they love having a little independence and time away from home. My poor kids never get out now- I gotta work on that!
