First Day of Kindergarten


Cooper was thrilled to start school today-not that I'm surprised. He walked in like he's been there forever, knew just where to put his lunchbox, and spent his free time working a puzzle.

I loved being able to walk, getting to meet the other parents, and (of course) seeing Cooper be so comfortable there. Ian, however,was pretty sure he ought to be staying....

Here are some shots from the morning.
Practicing his lunchroom routine last night (and mighty proud of his tower).


Working a puzzle with the instructional assistant who will be there to help in the mornings.
Ready to listen.

Yippee for Kindergarten! So excited for Cooper (and you guys!) I love the pic of the boys on the porch. See you soon!

So awesome Cooper! It's so fun to be in Kindergarten, day two for Colin has been very exciting, and so far, he's been excited to go with no arguing. Can't wait to hear more about your year :)

Kindergarten is so much fun, and any class with you in it has to be extra special.
