1st Day of School 2011



Kai was super excited for school today. Last night he kept reminding us that he needed to go to bed early- no problem with us. Not so exciting for me is the fact that school starts at 7:30am. This is quite the switch from 8:50am last year- especially when you add in Zuri to the mix also. Thus, we were lucky to get this one obligatory photo before running out the door.

It was fun to see Kai so confident about Kindergarten. He knows the drill and likes school so other than making some new friends he doesn't seem that nervous about it all. It is nice that one of the boys from his t-ball team, Evan, is in his class. Evan just had his 6th birthday too like Kai, is also left handed, and also did a 1/2 day kindergarten program last year. Plus Kai's middle name is Evan. Both of the boys think all of this is pretty awesome. We did a play date with them this Summer. Once Evan showed up this morning Kai was really good to go. Kai and Evan were the first kids to walk through the door after they lined up at the bell- no fear here and ready to lead the charge.

At this point getting to take a lunch box and eat at school is pretty fun. We hope he is having a good day. It will be fun to hear how it all went when we go to pick him up.

Who are these people that come up with these early start times? I mean really - they think this goes over well?? It's been two weeks I think and I am so tired of it. I don't want to go to bed early :) Kai looks so handsome - I'm glad he and Evan can have so many bonding ties :)
