AJ's FiRsT DaY!!!!

WEll, it happened, and we are all alive to tell about it! AJ started Kindergarten today and he did SOOO good. We were a little worried about how it would all go, given his history in preschool and church classes:), but he did GREAT! (i held it together and only shed a few tears after we were at the car!) So we started the day with a special first day breakfast. We made chocolate chip pancake guys for the kids and had a yummy breakfast.

Then we all got ready and off we went. AJ was so excited all morning. After breakfast he kept asking if we were going soon! So here are all the pictures of going to kindergarten...every step of the way (at least i realize i am ridiculous! :)

Here is Aj as we left the house.

Here is AJ in the car (I LOVE this picture-it really captures the excitement-with-a-little-nervouseness-thing that he had going on!)

Here is AJ in front of his school (They really have been working hard to get the school done. If you look close you can see the construction stuff-the fencing, the wheel barrow and the ladder thing!)

Here is AJ waiting in front of his classroom door, where he will go in everyday.

Here is AJ with Julia in front of the school. (Of course, Julia had to wear her backback and wanted to be in every picture. She just thinks she is so big!)

Here is AJ in front of his cubby. (DO you love the glowing spikes look, he, he)

And here is AJ sitting at a table right before we left! OK, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! NO TEARS!!! Look how chill he is just sitting like he is such a pro at just saying good-bye and starting something new!! I LOVE IT!!! Ok, this is where the story just gets funny!! We are walking back to the van and i look up at the van to find this...note the drivers side door (where BRANDON got Julia out of the car!)


YEP. Brandon was so focused on AJ going to school that he forgot the close the door of our NEW van! Oh well, all was well!

So there is the full play-by-play of AJ going to school on the first day. I am sooo proud of him for being so brave and doing so well! If his preschool teachers could see him now!!! (I guess all those days of just pushing him into preschool and running have paid off! :)
