owen's first day

it wasn't that long ago, on his first day (ever) of moms-day-out, that he didn't even want me to let go of his hand to take his picture.

august 2008

then, over the years, we both let go a little more...

first day of moms-day-out, sept 2009

 

first day of preschool, sept 2010

first day of preK, august 2011

he has been waiting sooo long for this:

his first day of kindergarten! August 15, 2012

he said, "get a picture of my backpack, too, please"

that seems like such a big school for my little guy.

 sissy kate would have l.o.v.e.d. to stay at school with him!

 all of the kids chose a bin for their supplies. owen is the only one with green :)

on the front table is our gift to miss brush, a vase made of colored pencils & filled with fresh flowers. owen is at the back table in the maroon shirt.

   

if you ask him what he thinks about kindergarten he will tell you it is "awesome". can't get much better than that :)
