DJ's 1st Day of Kinder

I am SOOO behind on blogging, but before I blog any of the other recent events, I had to share today's important event....DJ's First Day of Kindergaten!!!!

He has been so excited about school and the first thing out of his mouth this morning was "I'm going to kinder today!" He could not wait to go to school (unlike his mom who was not ready at all!).

He had been waiting all summer for this day and it was finally here!

After getting dressed, he wanted his hair spiked.



Once it was time to go, he couldn't get his shoes on fast enough!



We decided to walk to school today and DJ was so excited (although, he kept going back and forth between walking (which would take longer) or driving (so he could get there faster).

Look how happy he is!!!



Check out the cool backpack!



Cody enjoyed the walk, too! He even fell asleep on the way home and it was 2 hours before his normal nap time!



DJ just couldn't stop smiling. Here he is in line getting ready to go in his classroom.



He found his cubby right away and hung his backpack up.



I was pretty excited that a family friend was in the class with him. Here he is with Marella.



Daddy, mommy and Cody were so excited to see DJ after school. As soon as we got home, Cody jumped DJ to give him a hug! He missed his brother so much!



Because DJ did SO well today, he was welcomed with a treat when he got home.





When I asked DJ what the best part of his day was he said "recess and snack time". I guess they haven't really started learning anything academic so it's okay that those were his answers. ;)

According to him, the other highlights were - hanging upside down on the dome, spinning on the metal bar at the playground and landing on his butt on the bark and sitting at the same table as Marella.

Stay tuned for more blog entries - mini horses, Reno, Discovery Kingdom, visiting friends and an orange belt.
