The big Day

How did this happen? When did this happen? Wasn't he just born?

It really happened....

I have a kindergartner.


**** Note the high fashion first day of school outfit... I could have been a micro managing mom who wouldn't let her kid wear his FAVORITE new school outfit on the first day of school because it wasn't the stylish, ADORABLE, full on outfit (including matching shoes) that I wanted him to wear... No... I would have never tried to talk him into the outfit just mentioned, or even begged a little...
Instead I realized (OK.. after just a little begging for the other outfit) this is Kaden's big day.. not mine. Does it really matter that he wears the cute graphic tee and button down with cargo shorts and skate shoes? He'll wear it eventually, but today is all about him. If he wants to be a walking advertisement for Mario Brothers... then so be it.. (Ya.. his backpack is also Mario )
He was one happy (and stylish in his own rite) little boy. And I have to admit.. he looked pretty cute.

Kaden's and his best little buddy Josh! We made sure they got on the same track so they could go to school together. They both ride the school bus, sit by eachother in school, and would play 24-7 if we'd let them. I'm so glad he has a friend to go to school with.


THE MUCH ANTICIPATED SCHOOL BUS!!!
I think we've been talking about the school bus for at least a year and a half.. and today Kaden's dream came true. He was so cute. When he saw the bus, his eyes lit up and got in line without a inch of anxiety or nervousness. He waved us goodbye and off he went.
Brian didn't think that was good enough so we followed the bus to the school to watch him get off. (Awwwww.. what a cute daddy) It's pretty crazy to think about how quickly your kids grow up. I feel so blessed.

He is so cute! I love his Mario shirt. I wouldn't expect anyting different from him. I can't wait for Abby to start in Sept. I think I am going to cry on her big day.

He's so cute! And so brave...I'm sending my third off to kindergarten this year and I'm having a hard enough time with that, let alone adding in the bus factor! I love that Brian wanted to follow it :)

Love the picture of the smore at the top of your blog. However, we went camping last week and discovered smoreos (smore-ee-ohz). We used Oreos instead of grahams and of course we still included the chocolate. You need to try them for sure! Delicious!
