Kindergarten!

2016-09-11

This week I started kindergarten! But first, some pictures I missed last week because Daddy put them in the wrong folder.

Playing guitar with Uncle Neil.

I got the moves, I just need to learn to play.

Visting with Duke.

Duke, after Grandpa did a little combing...

Playing guitar with Grandpa Al.

Monday was a holiday, so we weren't at school or work. If you remember, Daddy and Mommy left me with Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al, so Daddy had to come back to get me. We stopped to visit Great-grandma Dorothy before we went home.

She's holding my deer.

Tuesday was orientation day at school. Mom and Dad got to come with, and then I got to go home. Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne came to stay with me because Mommy and Daddy had to be on campus all day.

Me and my buddy Alex.

So this is my new school...

Already not paying attention in class.

Saying goodbye to Grandma Wynne.

Wednesday was my real first day of kindergarten, because Mommy and Daddy left me there. I had a hard time saying goodbye. I didn't even get to go out on the playground because it was raining.

Excited for my first day!

In a big shirt. Mommy and Daddy think they are going to remember to take a picture of me in this shirt on the first day of school every year until I graduate.

Are we done yet? I want to go to school!

Not quite as excited now that I am actually here.

All done for the day.

Mommy! Mommy!

School was great!

Can I stay, Mommy? I don't want to go home.

Thursday after school I had my gymnastics class. Somehow we managed to find time for me to get to go again.

Waiting for class to start.

Friday we went out for supper with Angie and Sawyer, and then I went to play at their house while Mom and Dad went to a party.

Saturday was beautiful and we took Mommy to an event for one of her scholarships and we went to the Eagle Center!

Playing at the park outside the Eagle Center. There was a big slide.

Barge break.

Back to the slide.

Running up the hill to go again.

Me and Donald.

On the bridge over the train tracks.

Watching the train go right under us!

Whoosh!

At the apple orchard - riding the tractor train with Mommy.

Sharing an ice cream sandwich with Daddy.

After all that excitement I still had enough energy to ride my bike to the new bridge and go all the way to the top!

On top of the new bridge!

Ready for more!

Sunday Daddy and I did a lot of stuff around the house while Mommy worked on school stuff. We washed clothes, washed and waxed the car, and went to get groceries. It was a full day. And at the end of it, we returned my library books. I wanted to keep them, but Daddy say we would get a fine if we didn't take them back. So we put them in the book drop after we picked up Mommy.

Returning my books.

And that was my week! Take care!
