First day of Kindergarten!


Austin did so well, he didn't cry at all. And I managed to wait until I left his room before I started.
Mrs. W seemed a little frazzled, but 25 new 5 year olds trying to vie for her attention would make anyone crazy!
I documented the morning with pictures. I will update after we pick him up.


The alarm goes off at 6:30 and I actually make it out of bed by 6:33. This will not be a regular occurrence.


My sweet baby, still sleeping. I sang the "Good Morning" song to him to wake him up.


He just loves it when I sing him awake. As he gets older, he will realize just how badly Momma sings, so for now I will cherish his admiration.


Breakfast is a waffle and yogurt. Key Lime yogurt. He learned to like that flavor at Mimi and Papa's. I packed his lunch last night. Turkey sandwich, cheddar cheese squares, applesauce, Capri Sun and Jello for dessert. Oh, I just realized I forgot a spoon! Oops.

Washing hands after breakfast.


Brushing teeth...


Still Brushing...


He is very thorough!


Rinse...


... and Spit, Done!


My tough guy got a tattoo to commemorate the occasion.


All dressed in his new school only clothes. So Handsome!


Packpack on and ready to go!


Now we are using the good camera, instead of mommy's cell phone!


Is it me or does he look slightly apprehensive?


This is Austin's seat in his classroom. I will probably get that coloring sheet back with three scribbles and his name. He's not super into coloring these days.
Mrs. W said to say goodbye and blow kisses to Mommy's and Daddy's. He did that with ease. This was exactly 7 seconds before my waterworks started. I did make it out the door first.
And of course, we can't put up a spread without Evan. Happy man had his blueberry apple oat something and loved every gooey bite!


OK, I will add more pictures after we pick him up. I hope you enjoied them!!

What a great Mommy to get so many
1st day of school pics! I noticed you called his backpack a "packpack", is that what Austin calls it? Alexa called it that in kindergarten. :o)
