Alex's first day of kindergarten

Today was the much anticipated first day of school for Alex. He was excited and a little bit nervous. But he put on his new shoes and backpack and headed off to school. He did a great job taking pictures (after a small bribe/promise of McDonald's for lunch). He has a friend from preschool in his class, so he was really excited when he arrived and settled right in.

When I picked him up, he said his day was "awesome"! I think the highlight of the day was having recess in the gym and running in his new shoes. He also colored, ate snack and met some new friends. His teacher said he had a great day, and he seems excited to go back again. After school (it was just a half day), we picked up McDonald's and Brian came home to hear about his day. I think we are all glad the first day is over and are really looking forward to a great year!
