first day of school - part two

first day of kindergarten! he is so very excited to go to school, ride the bus and to make new friends. really, there isn't anything he isn't looking forward to doing in kindergarten.

he picked strawberries and nutella on pancakes for his special breakfast (picking the breakfast went a lot easier when it was only one kid's special day). and then he wanted a ton of pictures documenting his first day. we had to start early to get some with madelyn.

i just love his pose. sort of like a fire-side chat.

he was a little sad to not have gotten a picture on the couch with madelyn too - like everybody else on their first day of kindergarten. that we took a family one last week was of no comfort and we sat for this partial one to please him. well, i don't know if "please" is the right word...

we were early, but there were lots of first day pictures to take at the school too.

paige and maddux ready to take on kindergarten

the principal greeting them by name at the door. mason was there too.

in his room and ready for a great day!

i have been saying that i won't be surprised to get a call from the principal on maddux' first day. our main concern was touching others (and kissing and hugging). and i was mostly joking. but my heart stopped when i did get a call from the principal today! seriously! thankfully, it wasn't about maddux and was instead about the pto. maddux had a great day. love.
