First Day of Kindergarten

Well, it happened. I'm not sure how, but my little Brayden is in Kindergarten now.  I feel like he literally just grew up over night.  He is SO ready to be there and so excited about it. I know he will do great and will love every second of it, but Ty and I are sure gonna miss him during the day.  It's been so quiet so far without him around today!  

Did I get all teary saying goodbye and on the walk home...you  bet I did. Not fair to have to send your baby to Kindergarten when you are pregnant and emotional! And I have to say Guy was not helpful bringing up how many years it will be until Ty starts Kindergarten during our walk home. I'm not even going to think about that!!!  Time just needs to stop for a minute please!

Tyler insisted on being in all the 'first day of school' pictures with his own backpack.  He is Brayden's little shadow so this will be an adjustment week for him I'm sure.  But it'll be nice to spend some one on one time with him before we have the new baby. I have a feeling he's going to have a hard time giving up his spot as baby of the family.
Guy knows Tyler well and printed out 2 first day of Kindergarten signs :)

Guy came home from work real quick and we walked him to school.  It takes us about 10 minutes or so, but man it was SO hot and humid.  His school doesn't even start until 9:50 so it's already roasting out.  We were so sweaty by the time we got home that I seriously might consider driving him sometimes even though that sounds so lazy. But hey, I'm pregnant so that is allowed right!

His school is really cute, but so different then the elementary school I went to.  The schools in Florida are all outdoor ones so all the hallways are outside.  So weird to me, but that's just the way it is here.  Brayden told us this morning he is most excited about art and gym at school.  Maybe that will change when he learns about recess :)

 Sorry, this is not the best picture of his teacher, but here she is. Her name is Mrs. Burson and she is really sweet.  I think he's going to love her as his teacher this year.
Is it 3:50 yet???  I'm so excited to pick him up and see how his first day was.

I can NOT believe he started today. WOW! And Sawyer starts in a couple of weeks. Craziness! And yes, tell Guy to shoosh about little Tyler starting soon. That just means Gwen does too. :(

I need to print out a little sign for Luke. So cute. I honestly can't believe how big our boys are. Kindergarten? I know! Too crazy. Your boys are sooooo cute.

Also, so funny, Maria and I were just talking about walking your kids to school. I was telling her I was lazy too. I did it for about a week with Hannah and then started driving. It's just hard to make sure you're out the door on time especially when you have younger siblings in tow. It's funny cause I used to drive Hannah to school and then go back home and grab my stroller to go walking with some gals in the neighborhood right after. I totally wouldn't walk if it was so hot that early. ;)
