First Days of School

My boys are growing up, faster than I'd like. The past two weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions at our house. Sam transitioned to Preschool III at the Child Development Lab, and our Henry started Kindergarten. KINDERGARTEN. It seems like yesterday we were laying in bed, watching him kick and move in my very pregnant belly. And now he's five and enrolled in school.

PRESCHOOL Favorites:

Food = Spaghetti

Snack = Grapes, Cheese and Milk

Just like I did for Sam, who started preschool three days earlier than Henry started kindergarten, I got up early to make Henry his favorite breakfast on the big day.

Henry's first school lunch:

 

peanut butter sandwich

pita chips

cheese stick

grapes

 

(yes, I know the detail is over-the-top, but my baby only goes to kindergarten once...you don't have to read on...the documentary gets worse)

 

Henry picked out his first backpack - dinosaurs, of course! He's so proud.

 

I am Henry. Hear me roar.
