Kindergarten

My baby started Kindergarten. I can't believe I have a kid in school. I am not going to lie, it is pretty hard sending your kid off to school. I have been around Dallin pretty much all day, every day for the last 5 years. But I guess it is time...I will miss him a lot, but he is pretty excited to be in school. In his prayer before school he did ask to help him not miss his mommy too much. Alyssa is pretty sad about it too. She misses her big brother. 

Anyways on to the Dallin is excited part. On Wednesday night the school had an open house to come meet the teacher and bring in the school supplies. I guess I should give a warning that I took a lot of pictures, but I did narrow it down a lot. Also, he was giving me some pretty crazy smiles...When we got home, he was so excited because he loved his classroom. There were legos, blocks, trucks, a kitchen, games, computers, and lots of other cool stuff.

Here he is next to his cubby. He has his little PE shoes up and ready for him to use :)

Here he is in his desk. He is right in the front, which will probably be good for him. There are a lot more girls than boys in his class, but there is a boy across from him. Hopefully they will be buds. 

Here is his in the front of the class. 

Here is his next to the computers.

His FAVORITE part of the night was getting to play on the playground at school. Alyssa and Dallin had a blast. 

Daddy even had a little fun :)

Then came Thursday morning! He wanted eggs for breakfast, and got all ready. Isn't he such a handsome boy :)

Pictures with Mom and Dad when we got to school. He wanted us to drive him, and I am glad we did because we got to take him into his class.

Here he is all ready to go inside with his backpack. He was very excited because he gets to eat lunch and use his new dump truck lunch box.

I let Alyssa skip her nap and wait with me outside for the bus. She was so excited to see Dallin.

Dallin loved getting to ride the bus. He sat on the front row. He thought it was cool because there were no seat belts...

This is a terrible video because I was too far away and stopped it too short because he was giving me a hug, but here he is getting off the bus. 

He had a great first day. He said it was fun, and he liked his teacher a lot. He said she was old and had been teaching for "like a 100 years." Unfortunately, he woke up at 5 am on Friday morning throwing up so he missed his 2nd day of school...so no perfect attendance for him. He was really sad that he missed going to school, especially since it was PE day. I hope he continues to like school for as long as possible. I sure do miss my little buddy, but I am glad he gets to go to a good school and learn lots of new things.
