In order to ease the kids into their new school half of the K kids go today, the other half Monday, and then they all start together on Tuesday. This year the split the boys and the girls, and so Bennett is taking on K without his partner in crime. Most classes at our school have about 20-22 kids, so this enables the teachers to get to know the kids for a full day in smaller groups before the school year starts.
Lila was a little sad that she had to sit out, as they had been counting down the days all week...But, when it was time for him to go she gave him a big (unprompted by me) hug! Made my morning!
And as the bus turned around in our cul-de-sac, Elise reached over and grabbed her little brother's hand. :)
After we watched them get on to the bus, I brought Lila to my parents so that I could head up to school and greet him when they arrived.
Here is our big boy arriving at school.
He immediately found some of his best buds from St. Timothy's on the playground.

One more pic of our sweet boy.
Half way through the day I received a text from his teacher- "Bennett is awesome!"
So glad she thinks so, because we do too.

As I treat I took Lila to get her toes done. She was thrilled, and got over the fact that she wasn't at school pretty quickly.
Then we met up with some of the other boys' Moms for a fun lunch! Love these ladies!!

All of our kids were in PreK5 together at St. Timothy's and we grew closer over the last year. They are a great group of Moms!

Bennett got off of the bus with a huge smile on his face - that is all you can hope for!
So thrilled that he loved his first day.
