The BIG day!

The BIG day has arrived and we all survived. Chris was so excited to head off to Kindergarten this morning. It was quite the change to have to load the kids in the car and actually drive to school.....we have been spoiled the past few years with pre school across the street.

Chris anxiously awaited outside the Kindergarten building at George Kelly School for the bell to ring. As the kids started to pile in to the class the found their name tags and had a seat on the carpet. His teacher, Mrs. Vasquez, welcomed them and started them off with some great music. Who doesn't love a good chicken dance in the morning. The kids read a book and then it was time for them to turn and wave goodbye to their parents. I have to say it did make Bryan and I happy to know that Chris was very comfortable with staying there and leaving us beyond, some other kids in his class were not doing so well. As we headed out the door Dani was yelling to him....."Bye , bye Beeper!!!"

Chris had a blast today at school. Tonight when we were leaving the gym he said to me, "Mom we need to get home quick, I have to get to bed for school tomorrow." So here we are at the next chapter of our lives with Chris is school now.

We are so proud of our little man and all he has grown up to be. It was quite a day watching him march in there with confidence and be so excited for school. Chris you will always be our little baby, we love you and are so proud of you!

How exciting! I'm looking forward to Brynn starting in August, and I think she is, too. Hopefully her first day will go as smoothly as Chris's.

I'm glad I found your blog. What a fun family you've got!
