It has begun...

Our little M.A.N. is at his first day of kindergarten.

7 a.m. and we are off to school

He went right in and found his chair.

We were the first ones there and he wasn't sure what to do...

Oh goodness he looks tired, ekk...it's going to be awhile before we get into the groove!

While his teacher was busy with other students Michael waits. He's been there 5 minutes and he already looks bored, yikes!! I hope this isn't a look into the future!

I was up at 5:30am to get showered and the animals fed before I woke Michael up. At 6am I woke him up and we cuddled for a bit then I told him it was time to get busy. I made him breakfast and started packing his lunch. I was doing fine until he came in the kitchen and wrapped his little arms around Jakes neck and started telling Jake he was going to school, sigh!! What a moment...We were ready by 7 a.m. and I had a few minutes for photos...It was a bit dark and I didn't set the camera on Auto or the tripod so most of the photos of him messing around before he got in the truck were a bit blurry, grr...Live and Learn. I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to take the camera in the classroom but took it anyways...

Michael was ready and when we got to school he went right to his classroom and his seat. He wasn't sure what to do as we were the first ones there and the teacher was away collecting students. I was tickled as it was a great photo op and took some more photos!

I stayed for a bit and helped him get settled in...He wasn't too thrilled with the coloring page laying there and had his scissors out and was starting to cut it (lol) when I caught him...Ekk...I asked him if the teacher had told him to get his scissors out...NOT!! He has two little girls on either side of him and Ms. Emily (one of the little girls) said the teacher said to either play with the blocks or color crayons...I think Ms. Emily will keep Michael in line today, lol...Poor fella!

7.5 hours and I can go pick him up...I have a list to keep me busy today! And just think I may be able to sneak in a little scrapping while I am at it...

Kindergarten is such a big event!!! I cried when both my boys went. I was just devastated! LOL. One more to go, but that won't be for a couple more years yet.

I hope Michael is enjoying it.

I am so please to hear that it all went well! He does look a little bored in those photos! LOL!! It feels weird not knowing what they are doing all day doesn't it? I think that was the thing that I found the hardest.
