Austin's First Day of Kindergarten!!! :(

Austin started kindergarten on Monday!!! I have been dreading this day since... FOREVER. I was doing pretty good, until the teacher said "Ok kids, say goodbye to your parents!" Then the tears started flowing. I got them to stop once I got to the car, but when I got home they started again and wouldn't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so sad that my boy was gone! Yes, he is only in halfday kindergarten, yes its only 2 hours and 45 minutes long. But seriously, "It's like the end of an era, you might say!" I don't even want to think about next year when he will be going ALL day long.

Before I post about kindergarten I have to put some pictures from his preschool graduation on here because I totally spaced and forgot. His teacher, Mrs. Susan, had all the kids put one of their dads shirts on to look like graduation robes. So cute!

These are his preschool buds. Kaitlyn, Kaylee, and Isaac. They played together everyday at the park. They are good friends.

Now onto Kindergarten. He was very excited to start school. He is going to Finley Farms. Here he is, my little man.

And get this, he had an assigment before school even started! He had to make this little paper person look just like him. I think he did an awesome job! He LOVED this assignment.

He said that his teacher asked the whole class if anyone knew how to read yet, and he was the ONLY one who raised his hand! He is so smart and I am so proud of him.

Well that's that. My boy is growing up and I hate it! I want him to stay my little boy forever!!
