Austin's 1st day of school!

So, it was Austin's first day of Junior Kindergarten today. He's been really excited for the last two weeks, so this morning came as no surprise for him.

Showing off his backpack !

And he did great. There was no long goodbye or crying (as some of the kids did when it was time for the parents to leave the classroom. All he did was come over, give me a big hug and say "bye mommy, I'll miss you."

I was doing alright until that moment. After that, I had a little cry as Alex, Ryan and I walked home. It really is hard to believe that he's old enough to go to kindergarten.He had a great day, and has been talking about all the things they did pretty much since he got home.
