School Picture, Fall 2011

First Day of Kindergarten

Our baby boy is almost 5 years old! Since his birthday falls beyond the cutoff for public kindergarten, he's starting this year in the "big kids'" class at the private pre-school/pre-K campus that he has attended for the past 3 years.  We're expecting a low-drama transition, since he already knows the teacher and all 10 kids in the class, plus the familiar surroundings. The school day is packed from 9a-3p with segments on language arts, math, science, social studies, music, art, and PE.  After hearing so many stories of moms and kids with bittersweet tears on this monumental occasion, we weren't sure what would happen this morning, but it really seemed like any other week day with our busy family heading off to work & school.  Only happy faces all around!
