First Day of Kindergarten

Today was the big day... a little late by average start date standards... but very exciting for us, nonetheless. Gavin headed to kindergarten! He was so excited. He aced his assessment almost 2 weeks ago, so the anticipation to start school was getting intense. We spent several days gathering everything from the supply list and lots of time planning and talking about school. He loved it.
Even though we used this backpack for preschool last year, he still really wanted a picture of it.
What handsome guys.
You may not notice the really tiny toy lizards on the arm of the bench, but that is the whole reason they wanted this picture taken.
At the playground... walking into a room full of 26 kindergartners and all of their parents was a little over powering for Gav, but he shook it off and started in on the fun. He is attending Wasatch Elementary this year, which will mean that we drive to and from school every day. But we have the perfect teacher and morning kindergarten so we are very grateful.

Good luck Gav! It's always easier when you get to start school with a cool buddy like Lexi, too.
