End of the first day

Hooray! Austin loves school. He was so excited when he got out that we couldn't get an understandable word out of him. His favorite part is recess, go figure. He also liked to play at the water tables and lunch time.
His teacher, Mrs. W, seems to have a handle on them. He was looking forward to going back today.
Here are the rest of the pictures from after school.

They all stand in line waiting for their parents vehicles to get to the front of the line. Austin is wearing a sign around his neck that says "Car Kid" so that they know he waits to be picked up instead of riding the bus.

Here we are in the van. Look at that big smile! We were one happy family. Mommy, Daddy and Evan all got naps while Austin was in school. Darryl and I joked that school will probably extend Austins life by about 75 years or so.

What did I tell you? OK, I was off by one scribble. He colored four spots, not three. And the numbers on the bottom right were Austin's attempt to write Daddy's age, he just inverted the digits. Daddy won't mind, right?

This one was the kicker. The red is Austin's actual hand print. The poem started my tears again by the second paragraph. I have to get a rubbermaid bin to start storing all these mementos.

Like I said, Austin was excited to go this morning. He even woke up on his own. We got to school early enough for him to play on the playground. Kinda makes me wonder why I spent all that money on the good school clothes...
