Our Little Family: Kindergarten!!!

I cannot believe my baby boy is five and headed off to kindergarten! It blows my mind. In many ways, it feels like just yesterday that sweet little babe was placed in my arms. Now...he is getting so big and grown up and even starting school! Where did the time go?

The day before his first official day of school, the parents went to school with their kids to meet the teacher, see the classroom and get some information about school for the following year. From the minute I listened to Gabe's teacher talk to the kids I felt so grateful that she was going to be Gabe's first "big boy school" teacher. We both love her!

We are so thrilled that Gabe was able to be included in the Spanish immersion program. He is loving it so far and we just feel that it is such a tremendous opportunity. It is so much fun to listen to him walk around the house singing songs in spanish or teaching us our numbers and colors.

Gabe was so brave on his first day. Of course I was a wreck inside, trying to play it cool and keep it together so as to not make Gabe nervous but he had no problems lining up with the other kids and marching on in with his new teacher. He was ready!

I love hearing him come home from school excited about his teacher, making new friends and learning new things. We are so proud of our lil guy.

For Gabe's first day of school breakfast he requested Mummy's picklets. I love this kid so much!
