First Day of School

Tay had his first day of kindergarten this week. 
He had chocolate chip waffles with homemade syrup, bananas, and orange juice for breakfast:
He got a little nervous walking in:
Luckily he knew a couple kids in his class already, like Janessa:
I had to try really hard not to let any tears show up in my eyes while I followed him into the classroom and said goodbye!
The girls missed him at home all day long!

When I picked him up, he'd actually had quite a rough first day, including scraped up and bleeding leg & elbow from a fall on gravel, being hungry because he didn't finish his lunch before the bell - he eats slowly, and from being too scared to ask to use the bathroom all day:
It broke my heart to see him so upset! But after a little time with his silly sisters and a shake, he was back to his happy self:
By the next morning he was still a little nervous, but excited to try again, and luckily day 2 went much better than day 1!
By day 3, Friday, he seemed to be getting the hang of it:

Oh, Poor Taylor!!! How sad his first day was tragic! I'm glad it got better after that.
Cute, cute kids. Too bad about his first day :( I absolutely love the last picture with him and Kyla. He looks so grown up! It is so surreal that we are adults with kids of our own now. And you have a kindergartner!!!

I love the picture of him at the table holding his crayons. That is so sad his first day was so terrible. Poor thing. I'm glad it's getting better.
