My Baby heads to Kindergarten

I don't know how it is possible that my sweet baby boy is old enough to be a kindergartener. I am not at all sure that I like this! But, he was so excited this morning. He insisted when he got in the shower that he use his Daddy's shampoo and soap so he could "smell good like Daddy". He woke up excited and happy.

All ready to go in the new school uniform. Everyone had them on and looked so nice today.

As we drove to school he was pretty quiet. As we got closer to school, he wanted to pray like we do every morning on our way to school. His prayer was so sweet. Something along the lines of, "Lord Jesus, thank you that I can go to kindergarten today. Help me make only good choices and not make bad ones. Let it be a lots of fun. And let me use my smart brain and learn."

Jack was excited when we got to school and was so grown as he went up to all the teachers he knew from last year and said "Good Morning" and gave them lots of hugs.

Here is with his teacher Ms. Poe

He had a great first day. Enjoyed going on a hunt for the "Gingerbread Man". He said it was lots of fun singing Tooty Ta. "I like it when we sing it like this with our tongue out". He stayed on "purple" all day (the best level) and earned his first sticker on his "Purple Day" behavior chart on our fridge. (for every 5 purple days - he earns a dollar).

Jack said this is his first day funny pose. He has done it the last two years. (did the same pose without any prompting from me!)

First day of Pre-K 2007

Look how he has grown. I am really excited about what this year holds for him. I think he has a great teacher that really works well with active boys. One day down 179 to go!
