Kindergarten!


First day of Kindergarten! 


He was so ready! 


Here we go! 


Pick up right at the driveway. He was fine, I may have had a few tears... 



First day lunch - mini chocolate chips, cheese crackers, grapes, peanut butter & jelly - all his choice

Kindergarten Orientation and Last Outing!


We have a kindergartner! 


Such tiny lockers! 


Love the cafeteria! 


The day before school started, my mom and I took him to a local arboretum. They have a railway garden!


and lots of frogs


and neat benches in the children's garden


Then we went to lunch at one of our favorite places. 
They celebrate American history from the steelworker era.
