Kindergarten

The most exciting day is here - Ethan's first day of Kindergarten. I have never seen a more excited boy! We were woken up at 6:15 this morning to a cheerful little boy standing by our bed, smiling & carrying his new school clothes, asking "Is it time to go to school?" Ethan was all smiles the whole walk to school this morning, backpack slung on his back, ready to go.

His teacher is Mrs. Marler & Ethan really loves her. He had a great day & came home wearing his "crown" that said "Hero" on it. He really was a hero today, there was a little boy that was really sad & scared & Ethan helped him feel better by giving him a hug & telling him it was ok. Such a sweet guy. He has been excited for months to get to go to school & is so happy the day is finally here. It was a day of learning, crayons, playdough, racing, slides, sitting "criss-cross-applesauce" & singing. All in all, Ethan had an incredible day!

I expected to have a bit of a hard day (based on what all the other mom's were telling me) but I have been so excited & proud, now I just have to figure out what to do with myself & Aubrey while he is gone. Maybe I'll learn to knit... We are so proud of our Big Boy.
