Miller's First Day of Kindergarten

Well today is the big day, Miller's first day of kindergarten. It is only a half day, but we are one step closer. Friday will be his first full day. I really can't believe it. It still seems surreal to me.





He did much better than I had expected. I am happy to report there were no tears shed by either of us. I could tell he was just barely holding it together, but knew he would be fine once they were all set up in the classroom. I knew if he started crying I would too, so I scooted out before he could think about it too much.



I did almost lose it when I saw this though. Harper was so sweet with him this morning. I think she is excited to have her brother at school with her now.

This time around has been so different. I am so glad he has Harper to look after him.

Team-Up Thursday- School

This week Cara and I chose school as our theme. Harper's first day of first grade is today so we thought it would be an appropriate theme. I immediately though school supplies since we had a whole pile of them laying around. I really wanted to get a shot of Harper writing in one of her new first grade notebooks, but I thought that might not be the best idea. I guess I should have bought an extra one for us to practice at home.

Cara's school shot is awesome. What a grande building! This is where her boys attend daycare.

Since we are talking about the first day of school, here's Harper posing for me with her new backpack on. She's a little excited.

Yep, she is now a 1st grader.

It is amazing how much stuff can fit into that backpack.

I wanted to get a shot of both the kids together. Harper's response was "Ok, but Miller don't touch me." Yeah, the photo speaks for itself.

"Ummm, I don't like my brother."

Head on over to Megan's for more Team-Up Thursday.

My Little Bus Rider

Harper has been begging us to let her ride the bus. So we decided to let her. She was so excited and ready to go with backpack and all 45 minutes before the bus actually arrived. She was really afraid she was going to miss the bus.

She never even looked back. I did not even get a little wave.

Sigh. Excuse my while I go dry my tears.

First Day of Kindergarten

Can you believe school has officially started? I now have a kindergartener. Wow.
