Today is the day I have dreaded since Patrick was born........his first day of kindergarten. Yes I want him to have fun. Yes I want him to learn new things. But I can't let go of him being my baby and can't believe that the time has flown right by and now is in school! I was sure I would be a puddle of tears on the floor of his classroom but I did remarkably well. All in all, it was a great day.
Patrick having his first breakfast of kindergarten.....waffles.
Lizzie Lou at breakfast. She had a hard morning. She was very upset that she isn't going to kindergarten. She insisted on wearing her new school sneakers and stomped all over the house. At one point she took her back pack for school next week, slammed it on the counter, and screamed kindergarten. Then she cried the whole ride to the sitter's house :(
Dad and Pat on the big day!
Mom and Pat on the big day!
He's got his lunch packed up, his shoes tied tight, he better not get in a fight..........hehehehe. I can't believe that my little baby is so big and grown-up.
Heading toward the car........off to Kindergarten!
Patrick waited in my classroom with me for about 15 minutes. Then it was time to suit up and head out.
Patrick has two teachers. Here's Patrick with his teacher, Mrs. Patrick! How cool is that!
After getting his bag in his locker, supplies handed in, papers put in the bin, Patrick had to find his name at his table. Smart kid found it right away.
There's my big man!
Patrick settled in well. When I left him he was getting ready to color the table and his name tag. There was one bump through the day, but he got it together and was all smiles when I stopped in to visit later on in the morning. Patrick loved his first day. I was able to spy on him doing the pledge and listening to a story. He told us all about going to the cafeteria for lunch and going to the gym to play games with "Coach". Try boy huh? I hope he has a great first year of school!
