Luke's First Day

It is hard to believe that Luke was finally going to Kindergarten! He was SO ready. It was hard for him to watch Lauren and Nathan start school a whole week earlier than him. A couple weeks before Kindergarten started we made a chain to countdown to the first day of Kindergarten. Each loop had a little activity on it to prepare for the big day...write your name, practice letter sounds, read a book, etc. We had a lot of fun doing that together each day. So when the first day finally rolled around Luke was pretty excited for school to start. He is my first child to attend afternoon kindergarten. Luke is not the fastest kid when it comes to getting ready so I thought I would enjoy this last year of lazy mornings with Luke. And by the time he is bored with me or done with running errands, school starts! And best of all he gets to ride the bus home with Lauren and Nate. On his first day of school the PTA did a 'boo-hoo' breakfast for all the new kindergarteners and their moms. We went a few minutes before school started to eat donuts, take pictures and "boo-hoo." As hard as I tried, I didn't shed a single tear! Luke has been such an angel to have at home. He is very laid back, easy going, and just fun to be with. I think if he wasn't so ready to go to school I would have been sad. But I was just really excited for him. And the highlight of his first day of kindergarten? He got to play with his big brother at recess!
