T"s first day of JK!

This is proof that we now have two children in school: two backpacks at 8:30am ready at the door for a day at school!
I washed this outfit for him last night as he's already worn it since getting it on Monday!
This is our first 'first day of school' where we couldn't do pictures outside in front of our shrub. So we improvised.

Ready with his backpack on!
It really is true that the backpacks are almost as big as the kids!

I think G. was feeling a tad left out. He's always been the one having a 'first day of school'. So we had him join in!

LOVE this raincoat! We waited outside until the bell rang. I had BIG butterflies in my tummy at this point. I was nervous, sad, excited and so happy all at the same time. T. was cool as a cucumber and was jumping all over the place in and out of the puddles.

The bell rang and Mrs. B. told T. to go to his hook and put his coat and bag on it and then wait outside of her door. Can you just see the excitement in his eyes? This is when I had to hold back tears. I clearly remember exactly 4 years ago, being at this same spot with G. and T. was in my arms as a newborn. It goes so fast. I wish someone had told me just how fast. Crazy fast.
We waited at the door for a bit and I could kind of see T. getting a little antsy and Mrs. B. was coming down the hall, so I gave him a kiss and a hug and made a quick exit. I wanted the first walk into the classroom to be a happy one for him. And it was - yay!
When I picked him up this afternoon I asked him 'what was your favourite part of the day?' and he said 'everything'. That told me that it was a really good day! I am so happy for him as he starts this new adventure! I have a feeling he's going to love it and thrive just like his brother has. Happy first day of JK T! We're so proud of you!
