tears and cheers...

That is what they called it today when I took Xavier to school for his first day of Kindergarten. I have a Kindergartener!!! How did that happen?? Xavier was so excited this morning when we woke him up for school (now I wonder how long that will last?). Here he is posing with Daddy before he left for work.

It was dark, cool and rainy this am so all pictures were taken inside. It was as if it had turned fall overnight. I am sure that it was a fluke, but after the hot and humid weather we just had, it was a bit odd.

I packed his lunch with some of his favorite things

(and a surprise note from Mom of course).He took a cream cheese and olive sandwich, doritos, fresh peaches and ...

a special treat of chocolate chip/m&m cookies that we just baked the night before. I asked Xavier what other people ate for lunch, whether they brought lunch of bought lunch. I asked him if anyone asked him what he brought. He said "Yes, Mrs. Parker asked me what I was eating and I said a cream cheese and olive sandwich!" I guess the teacher then said "You like that?" and he answered yes that it was his favorite! I know it is a bit odd but I love it too:) To our defense, of course he likes it...why would I send it, especially on the first day, if he didn't???

Xavier posed for one quick picture before we left for school.

A quick funny. As I was finishing packing his lunch Xavier and Dax were on the couch reading books before we left. Xavier came over to me and said "Is it OK if I just tooted in my uniform"? Keeping as straight of a face as I could, I answered that yes, it was OK. Then he asked. "It is not going to stink now?" Umm, no honey, I think you will be just fine.

Off to school.

I reminded Xavier that once he got up the stairs that he had to go all the way to the end of the hall. I got an "I KNOW that".....

All right Mr. Getting Too Big For Your Britches!! He hung up his bag and found his seat right away.

Mrs. Parker gathered a few students and put them to work sorting supplies right away.

  Bye Mom!!

The tears were not coming from him:) I will admit that I did cry....but if someone was going to do it I was glad it was me and not him!!

Dax was anxious to get out of there and get to our "date" at Panera "Dread" so he could get his grubby little mitts on this

a cinnamon crunch bagel...

which he thoroughly enjoyed!

When we picked Xavier up he told me and I quote "Kindergarten is AWESOME!" Now I call that a successful first day!
