My Kindergartner!

Keith entered Kindergarten this year! Does he look old enough? The first two pictures are from the Back to School night when we got to meet his teacher before school started. He was so excited to play on the playground, can you tell? He can do the monkey bars and swing on the swings!


This is the night before the big day! I told Keith he is going to have to make his lunch every night after dinner so he will be ready for school the next day. Well that hasn't worked out as well as I thought it was going to, and it turns out we have plenty of time in the morning because he is still so excited about going to school he gets ready all by himself and needs hardly any prompting from me at all! So this is him making his lunch. He got to pick out what he wanted. He wanted Ham and Turkey sandwhich.

Then this is him all ready to head out the door! We drive him, because the bus stop is 3/4 of a mile from our home. The school is only a few more minutes drive. So we are carpooling with neighbors and they are taking him and we are bringing the kids home. I drove him and picked him up the first week though, just to get the routine established.

Can you see how excited he is! He still loves school, and it has been going for over a week now. We are glad he likes it and is so excited to go. It sure makes it easier on me when he gets himself all ready. And since I don't have to get Thomas and Rachel ready, it is really nice! Because it is usually just him and me as he gets ready!

He's my big boy, all grown up and going to school and everything!
