Gavins 1st day of Kindergarten

Gavin started Kindergarten on August 24th. He was so excited to ride the bus and to finally be able to wear his new backpack. We followed the bus to school and saw him meet the other kids in his class and walk into school together. Lucas and I were a little sad, even though he has been going to school since he was 3. Our first child embarking on the beginning of his school career is a big milestone. Tyrone missed him terribly, even though Gavin only has 1/2 day Kindergarten. He kept asking when Gavin was coming back and he didn't know what to do with himself until Gavin came home. So far Gavin is loving school and his teacher. He has made new friends and talks all about them a lot. He got to be the "door holder" the other day and showed us all how he held the door open for the other kids to walk through. It made me smile, when I caught him singing "Puff the Magic Dragon" to himself one afternoon. He is already learning so much. He loves going to the library at school and he absolutely has to bring a quarter to school each day so he can buy chocolate milk.

How awesome. What a little stud. Its probably nice to have one less kid around for a bit each day.

Wow, that is so wonderful that he loves going to kindergarden. I have seen some kids that kick and scream not wanting to go. He is getting so big. Tell Tyrone that he can hang out with me while Gavin is in school!

I love it when I catch my kids singing to themselves and I'm always interested to see what they decide to sing! Hope he continues to love school.

I love the school bus picture! That's cute. He totally reminds me of Lucas in that first picture.

He looks so snazy. What a sweet little guy you got there. Ethan too has to bring money to get chocholate milk for lunch. I need to come visit. I feel like it's been forever.
