After a very long summer and many countless days of asking “when do I get to go to Kindergarten?” Joshua, my five year old boy, gets to go to Kindergarten today! Yay! Josh has been looking forward to this day since his Kindergarten orientation back in the beginning of June. Now the day is here and we can rejoice or for me thank the Lord that this day has come because I have had enough of the constant talk about when will be his first day of Kindergarten.
Surprisingly, for a boy who was anxious to get to school, didn’t mean that he was getting up early. I woke Josh up at 7:30am and he would not budge. Finally after five times, he rolled his body out of bed, got dressed, and had breakfast.
Of course since this is his first day of school, that meant that he got to wear brand new clothes from Old Navy!
A new outfit wouldn’t be complete without a brand new Lightening McQueen backpack and lunch bag!
And Josh standing besides his Lightening McQueen backpack and lunch bag!
And Lightening McQueen backpack and lunch bag standing all by itself!
And last but not least, a picture of Josh in brand new Old Navy clothes, Lightening McQueen backpack and lunch bag, and a brand new Old Navy hoodie!
I know I know…overkill in the pictures of Josh and his backpack…I’m not that creative, but I wanted pictures of my five year old’s first day of kindergarten.
Then I got a couple pictures of my nephew, Kierin with Josh’s backpack and lunch bag. Kierin left his bag and lunch bag in his dad’s van.
Then it is off to school! Here’s the boys standing outside of Balgonie Elementary School.
And here’s the boys standing in the foyer of the school. Their teacher, Mrs. Niesson is standing behind them near the wall. I actually didn’t realize she was there until after the picture was taken.
Another picture of Joshua standing besides his coat and bag hanger!
I think Josh has had enough of mom’s picture taking. You can just see the joy in his face posing for this picture.
Here’s Josh and Kierin sitting at their desk. The girl with the boys is Avery. Avery went to preschool with Josh and Kierin.
Here’s another picture of a couple of boys in Josh’s class. Jack and Ryan were both in Josh’s preschool class too!
And another picture of Josh with Ryan…Ryan is one of Josh’s good friends that he likes to play with!
Well, Josh had a full day of Kindergarten. The way Balgonie Elementary School is set up is that Kindergarten’s go to school for full days every other day. So, for today, it was just me and Andrew. Andrew was kind of going through withdrawl and by lunch, he was asking when can we pick up Josh.
When I picked Josh from school, I could tell it was a long day for him b/c he was just so happy to see me. Not happy to see me that he missed me, but more like “I’m soooo glad this day is over!” I asked him what he did at Kindergarten and he listed off a whole bunch of things and he ended it with “I didn’t realize school was so long. I kind of wanted a rest at school!” Well, buddy get use to it because this is what school’s all about!
My next post will be about my experience at Queen City Marathon. I’m a pace rabbit for the half run and I’m hoping that I will get a lot of good pictures to share with you!
