Today was a very special day. It marks a change in our lives. Our firstborn son went to Kindergarten today! If you are a parent, you know this is a huge day for the Mamas and Papas out there! Sending your kid out there to be taught by someone other than yourself. Letting them meet kids and potentially get hurt! Seeing them spread their wings ever so wide, ready to fly!
Elijah was so cute in his uniform, getting his new shoes on, and wearing his backpack. Since he grew up at the school with his Papa as the teacher, he has been ready since birth to finally be a student here! Funny, his music teacher surprised him today. It was Papa!
Yay! Elijah's teacher is a photographer. Therefore, we had a photo moment for the parents! So glad she likes pictures. All the kids in Elijah's class are here for their first day--13 of them! Elijah is standing by the teacher in this picture--I'm glad he likes her!
I'm amazed, my active independent guy is actually standing nicely in a line here. This could be the beginning of something totally new for him! He also sat in a chair for 30 minutes in the opening ceremonies--I was amazed again. Finally, I snuck past the window of his class and saw him sitting in a desk! All the days we play and hike and bike and play in the sand, and today I saw him doing things so nicely and calmly with his class. I can hardly believe my eyes. Thank you, Lord, for a great first day!
In addition to all the excitement, it was Emily's one month birthday! What a precious growing girl!
My friends and I holding our 3 babies! We had a baby shower together in March, and now we are all here with the live dolls! All of us also have a son in Kindergarten together, so that is fun! Thank you, Lord, for friends, and for our babies' friends!
