First Day of Kindergarten

Blake started kindergarten on Tuesday, September 8th for a FULL day and he was SO excited. He's been waiting for this day to come for a year now! He was all smiles :)

His little brother gave him a lot of big hugs because he knew he would miss him
Bryce actually cried most of the morning saying his belly hurt cuz he didn't want Blake to go to school

Blake gets on the bus at 8:15am and gets off at 4:04pm. I feel like that makes for a loooonnngg day, but so far he loves every minute of it.

Here he is at the bus stop, clearly annoyed that his Mom has to take another picture

One last hug for Mommy

Then off he goes, starting the next chapter

After 2 days of school he says his favorite part is recess and he really enjoys having lunch with all the new friends he's made. He comes home full of stories, so far my favorite is that he thought the chocolate milk in the lunch line was free for the taking and he tried to help himself the first day until someone stopped him! The next day I sent 35cents for him to purchase one :)

We are so proud of Blake and how well he is transitioning to his new routine. Here's hoping the enthusiasm continues!!

As most of you could have guessed, I was quite emotional as the bus pulled away with my oldest boy. I seriously cried like a baby and continued to do so on and off throughout the day.

It's just soooo hard to let go.
