First Day of School

The first week of August seems too early to be going back to school, but that's what they do in our area.

Alex was VERY excited to be starting kindergarten. The day before school started he would just blurt out "I'm going to kindergarten!" randomly throughout the day! The morning of the big day, he threw himself into my arms and chanted "kindergarten, kindergarten", with his eyes tightly shut! No sad goodbyes for our big guy. He took off running so he could be the first one on the bus at our stop! I did get teary eyed, but it was hard to be sad, when he was so excited.

It's a long day, and Alex got off the bus tired, but wound up. Of course it doesn't help that the buses do not have air conditioning and the heat index has been well over 100. He loves his teacher, and has already made a friend that likes to play cars with him. It was a good day!

Tyler started school the next day. He's an old pro at going to the big school, but was still excited to see his teacher and his friends. This year Daddy is driving him to school in the mornings. We made that decision after they told us he would have to be picked up at 6:29am!!!! That's too early for Tyler, and his parents! He goes full days this year and really enjoyed it!

Alex is not used to eating breakfast this early!
