First Day of School

I can't believe that summer is already over! Probably because it is only August, why on earth does school start so early now? Anyway, today was our first day back at school! Everyone was very excited this morning, except for Camden.

Notice the backpack? He desperately wanted to join his siblings at school today. Bennett wasn't exactly helpful either, pointing out to his little brother that he had to wait three years before he could go. I think he meant well.

Kendall couldn't wait to get out the door today. First day of kindergarten!!!

I didn't know how she would do since she never went to preschool and she is usually shy when she is around strangers. She LOVES school so far. She was actually bummed when I picked her up at noon, she wanted to stay all day like her big brother. I guess that means she had fun! It helps that she already knew a lot of the girls in her class, and that she has been waiting to go to kindergarten ever since Bennett started two years ago.

And to answer those inquiring minds, no I didn't cry. Shocking, I know. I was hysterical on Bennett's first day of preschool, and teary on his first day of kindergarten. Not sure why the flood gates didn't open up today, although I do cry at all her ballet performances and got teary when she tried on her first soccer uniform the other day. Go figure. I think it helps that I love her school and trust her teachers, oh and maybe it helped that I was actually at the school all morning visiting with people and helping out where they needed it. Maybe the tears will come tomorrow when I actually leave her there by herself :)
