Ist day of kindergarten!!







Mackenzie has been waiting and waiting for school to start and it's finally here! Yeah! She has been so excited to go to school. She picked out her outfit for the first day all by herself. Her grandma took her shopping. She could have picked anything in the store. She chose a pink Hannah Montana shirt, jeans, sparkly pink shoes, a sparkly pink head band, a sparkly pink purse, and a purple necklace. She was so excited to wear them. (especially the shoes). We have all-day kindergarten here so I think it might be a little hard on her at first but she's ready. I drove her to school for her first day and she rode the bus home. She was so proud of herself. I can't believe she is already old enough to be in school! I have been pretty nervous about the whole bus thing but they will pull into our driveway to pick her up and drop her off, and the best thing is that they will not let her off the bus unless they see a parent. So, it will be a fun thing for Gavin, to go outside and wait for Kenzie to get home from school every day. It's going to be hard for him- Having her gone all day. Today, within ten minutes of dropping Kenzie off, Gavin started asking "When Kenzie be home?"
He was a little upset when we took her because as she was getting her backpack ready, he also got his ready for school and took it with him. As we walked out of her classroom, he asked "Where's my class?" It was so funny, when we got home I opened his backpack to see what he had packed and instead of paper, pencils, and crayons, he had it stuffed full of socks and underwear. I'm not quite sure what that was all about. He will start pre-school next week so hopefully that will make him happy.

Getting on the bus her 2nd day of school!! She was so excited!!

Hello - I just happened upon your blog and thought our families seem much alike. My son is off to kindergarten for the first time, too. Today was his orientation and it put me at ease about the him taking the bus.
One of the songs on your playlist is my favorite - the one by Alison Kraus!
Best wishes for the birth of your 3rd!
