First day of Kindergarten...

Can I tell you that taking your first child to Kindergarten is one of the wierdest feelings...so much different than when they go to preschool. With preschool it still feels like they are yours, but dropping them off at a place that's going to take up a large amount of their time for the next chapter in their lives was sad, exciting, and scary all at the same time. But we are really looking forward to seeing what kind of person Jacob is going to become and the things he is going to learn!

Walking up to the school, he was starting to get nervous now (notice the apples still in hand)...

Getting ready to line up (progress...the apples are shoved into one cheek)

Waiting to go in, sitting next to Nick...(still with the apples)

First Day of Kindergarten (part 2)...

Following his classmates into the classroom..


Finding his name tag next to his teacher Mrs. Adams



Following directions already..."find a book and a place to sit"!

We didn't get many details, but they did read the Gingerbread Man, got to find gingerbread cookies, decorate and eat them, they sang a song about elephants sitting on them, and of course, they got to go out to recess. I think this will be a good year for Jacob!

First Day of Computer Class...

Kind of chilly and rainy for August, but he loved being back with Ms. Marg at Waterford.

Of course Anna wouldn't let us leave her out.
