Braxton's First Day of Kindergarten

Well Braxton started his first day as a Kindergartner. He was SO excited and has been looking forward to this day all of Summer. When we got there he was so happy to see that there were 4 other kids from our ward that were in his class, so that made the adjustment to going to school every day a little easier. He did very well and didn't even cry at all, in fact he kept asking when it would be time for me to leave. This made me a little sad, I guess he was just really ready. That day when I picked him up from school, he wanted to come home and do ALL of his homework that he had for the week. Then he said to me kinda softly "Mom I started to cry a little bit....not when you dropped me off, but when school was almost time to get out. I really missed you." Oh man, I thought I did good without crying when I dropped him off, but I couldn't hold back the tears after he said that. I missed my little guy too! He also told me that he was VERY tired and was ready to go to bed. Now if any of you know Braxton this is VERY out of the ordinary. He rarely admits when he's tired. So that night when it was time for bed, I was tucking him in and saying prayers and he asked me if when we said prayers that we can ask Heavenly Father to make it so he wont miss me and not to cry tomorrow when he goes to school. AGAIN, I couldnt hold back the tears. He is such a sweet boy and I love the faith he has in our Heavenly Father, he KNOWS that if he asks for help he will get it. I love this cute boy and I'm still having a hard time believing that my B-Man is in school.


Kinda out of order with the first pic, but this is on the way to school in the car.

Of course Gavin wanted to feel included so I took a pic of him too. This is him trying to smile. Such a sweet boy.



Braxton sitting at his seat with his name tag on. He's sits at the "blue table".



He was so excited to have his own pair of scissors, glue, crayons, and pencil.




This is his friend Paul who is in our ward, he sits and the same table too.

Awe...I want to cry...I know I am going to be a wreck when Christian starts kindergarten. I am already feeling kind of sad he's starting preschool next week - but not too sad :) ... looking forward to those few hours a week with only ONE kid! Hey I saw a train table on sale at ToysRUs for $129. Check it out...it's imaginarium and it comes with tracks, trains, all sorts of stop sign pieces, etc. and the table with 2 drawers...not exactly like mine...but pretty similar.

Fun! Our real week of kindergarten starts next week. This week was just a meeting and testing. Lame! So we're awaiting the real adventure of kindergarten. Braxton looks so excited to be in kindergarten. He's so cute!
