First Day of School!

Can it be true?  My baby is going to Kindergarten!  I can't believe how fast the years have flown by!  Nine years in the blink of an eye!  Tyson just turned 9 and will be a third grader, and Aiden turned 5 in April and will be starting Kindergarten!  I officially have no more "helpers" on my day off! :(  The boys were pretty excited the first day.  In fact... Aiden had been counting down the days until he got to go to school like the big bro!

 

My babies...all grown up!

Looking sooo big!

 

How is he already 9 years old?!

 Scott took the day off, and I just worked a few hours.  We both took them to school.  We first walked Tyson back to his playground, and it only took him 10 seconds to spot the kickball game and he gave a quick good-bye and was off!  A huge improvement over his first year in Kindergarten...we are sooo proud of you buddy! 

We then walked Aiden to his playground.  There were soooo many kids!   His playground consists of the 1st and kindergarteners!  Considering there are 104 kindergarteners alone...you can imagine the chaos! They actually split the Kindergarten classes the first week to help them adjust to the new environment, so Aiden only went to school on Monday, Thursday, and then the entire class went on Friday.  Aiden was a little overwhelmed, and just hung close to us.  When the bell rang all of the kindergarteners and their parents went to the old gym, where the teachers read a quick book and then we had to say goodbye!  Aiden was so brave!  You could see he was scared...and very nervous, but he never shed a tear!  He hung close to Miss Weiss (his teacher) and off they went to their classroom! We are so proud of you little Wez!   I'm not saying that this Mama didn't shed a tear.....or maybe a hundred on her drive to work! :(

I then went to work for a few hours, before coming back home so we could meet them at the bus.  They were the first 2 off, and big brother was right there watching out for him, and making sure he didn't cross the street until they got the ok from the bus driver.  Such a good big brother!  Once they got the ok...the race was on!

Check out big brother's hand on Aiden's shoulder...keeping him safe

and they are off!!

 

 They both had soo many stories to tell!  So grateful they both had a good day, and just hoping the rest of the school year can be just as good!
