First Day of School

Back to Glenwood Elementary School...This time, we have a kindergartener and third grader!

Kieran did not want to be left out of the school day photos, so he offered to hold Cole's lunchbox.

Our kindergartener, Cole--A little nervous and a lot excited!

Our third grader, Caden--Seems impossible that he's in third grade!

Kieran had to take several pairs of sunglasses and an extra lunchbox down to the bus stop.

Cole rushed onto the bus. Ms. Barb had to stop him, so I could say good-bye (choking back tears) and snap a photo.

As the bus pulled away, Kieran burst into tears. He must have thought he was going with his brothers. His breakdown made it harder for me to hold myself together. Thank goodness for awesome neighbors! They offered hugs and a lunch date. The boys' first day was a full day (8:30-3:30), so it was a long day of wondering and waiting.

Off the bus with a big smile--First day of kindergarten was a huge success!

 

The big boys have been in school for a week. Kieran and I are enjoying all of our time together, and I've gotten used to some productive or relaxing time during Kieran's afternoon nap. The boys first week went really well. They are enjoying school, making friends, and already learning. Hoping for another successful school year--full of learning and fun!
