Time for Kindergarten!

It's hard to believe Sean is old enough for kindergarten. Of course it's also hard to believe he's only six years old. It seems like he's been with us forever. Anyway, the big day was finally here, and it was all smiles getting ready.

He was so excited to be taking his backpack FULL of school supplies. I don't remember having to stock the whole classroom when I went to school, but there was probably a bigger budget for kids back then. There was so much on his list that I had to take a grocery bag full of supplies that wouldn't fit in his bag.

I was a little worried when the little girl behind him started bawling. He doesn't do well with other kids crying. Luckily there were a few familiar faces from the neighborhood to distract him.

He was so happy to find his name on his table and put on his name tag.

We were waiting on the playground for school to get out. I could see a kid jumping up and down in the window. I knew it had to be my little jumper. I zoomed in with the camera to get this great shot. He could see us and couldn't wait for his teacher to open the door.

I love that he came out trying not to smile. He was so proud of himself and happy to show us his birthday crown. It must be nice to always be the first kids to get the birthday attention every year.

Kate was pretty proud of her big brother too!
