First Day!

August 12, 2016

Well, the first day of kindergarten for my first baby has come and gone…and it went great! Maxwell was so ready and excited…

and I was too!  🙂

Spencer, on the other hand, was not ready nor was he excited…

He really, really didn’t want big brother to go!  🙁  Spencer apparently threw a fit of epic proportions after Maxwell and I walked over to school…poor buddy. It’s hard to see your best friend leave for 7 hours a day. All I can say is “bless his heart”…he will adjust and it will all be ok.

Maxwell and I got to school and found some friends…

and headed down to the cafeteria to wait with his class…

until it was time for him to go to his room with Mrs. Solai! Off to new adventures!

The kindergarteners get out an hour early for the first 5 days so I was ready and waiting at 2:00 to see my buddy!

He said he had a good day (even if they didn’t get to play on the “brand new but still not finished” playground!).

Everyone sure was glad to have him back home that afternoon!  🙂

Here’s to a fun year of school ahead!

kindergarten!!!

August 11, 2016

Maxwell got his ‘back to school’ hair cut, he’s the proud owner of some awesome new shoes, his orange camo backpack is ready to go….he is kindergarten ready!!

Robert and I had a parent meeting on Tuesday night and Maxwell went up to the school yesterday to meet his teacher.

He was excited (and a little shy) when we got there. They had a little scavenger hunt for the kids to do and, amongst other things, he found his seat…

got his picture taken by the counselor…

and obviously met the teacher – with Lila by his side!  🙂

His teacher this year is Mrs. Solai…until October. Yea, his “real” teacher, Mrs. McCandless, had a baby last week so she’s out for now. Mrs. Solai is stepping in and, while not the ideal situation, I think it will all work out fine. Mrs. Solai (pronounced so-lay) seems smart and humorous, much like Maxwell! 🙂 It’s going to be a fun adventure this year!

I’ll report tomorrow on all the “first day” details!

Also, happy birthday Grandaddy!

We hope you have a great day and a wonderful year ahead! We love you!!
