First Day of School for TWO!

Tuesday, September 4th

Elissa is going into THIRD Grade!

  

Zachary is starting full time Kindergarten!

I can't believe the time has come for both my kids to go to school. It is a bit surreal that I have been home with them for 8 years and now they will be at school all day.

  

Here is Elissa & Zach when Elissa started Kindergarten (9/09).

    

Oh my sweet girl. I started potty training Zach that day that Elissa started school. Zach was 2 1/2 years old. It seemed like such a long time when Zach would be going to school too.

But today he left me and went off to school. :' ) It's a sad day and exciting day all wrapped together.

      

Elissa told Zachary that it was cooler to have your backpack slinger over one shoulder. Zach left his backpack the way it was.

She is such a diva!

Ahhhh! He is really getting on the bus!

This is when I broke down. That face! He was SO excited to be on the bus. You can just see how proud and happy he is. Love him!

Then I got in the car and drove over to the school to meet him as he got off the bus. :-)

Here are the 3 amigos! Zach, Brady and Christian

    

Brady left his backpack on the bus, so I waited for him to go get it. Zach went ahead of us. I got Christian to his class - he has Mrs. Mason - and then Brady & I met up with Zach at their class - Mrs. Vicky Taylor. Zach was confident and walked right to his classroom. So proud of him!

    

They have the same taste. :-)

There were no sad good-byes. He just walked off without looking back and found his seat. I'm thankful for his independence, but love the times he needs his Momma.

I enjoyed the rest of my day and got to come pick him up from school.

Here are Zach & Brady with their teacher.

He said he had a fun day. His favorite thing? Recess. 3 recesses. So typical. LOL!

Elissa liked her first day of school too. She said her teacher was really nice. Not stern at all. :-)
