First Day of Kindergarten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We figured getting up for kindergarten would be a breeze, considering this has been a very early rising family for a very long time.  The first thing we learned this morning, is that waking up at 6:30 on a consistent basis in order to climb into bed with Mom and Dad, and then getting up and playing and eating a leisurely breakfast, is NOT the same thing as waking up at 6:30, getting out of bed, getting dressed, eating breakfast, making lunch, getting bike and helmet out and being ready to Go To School by 7:40.
I think these faces express their unhappiness at this new turn of events
They did learn to mush their tushes, pretty quickly, though 
 
 We all road to school together.  It was rather nerve wracking.  There was quite a bit of traffic, you know, because it was THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.  Don't know why we didn't see that one coming. 
 
 Waiting in line in front of Mr. Wood's classroom.  That's Julia and Jeremy to each side of Samuel in the background.
 
 Obligatory first day of school pictures with Mom.
 
 Mr. Wood let all of the parents come in the classroom and watch him start his morning routine. 
 
 The Proud Parents.
 
 
 
 
 Already loving school.
 
And here he is at the end of his first day.  All smiles.
 
The first week went really well.  The second week, Samuel wanted to know when he could stop going every day.  But by the fourth week, he found his groove, and he has been loving school ever since.
