First Day of Kindergarten

Where has the time gone? I am going to miss having this little monkey home with me all day! Today you were so excited for your first day of school! You get to go to morning kindergarten and be an "Early Bird". You were up at 6:15am, dressed and ready to go. Of course school doesn't start until 8:30, so we were able to make a "special" breakfast for you of waffles, smoothies and yogurt. All at your request. Then I got to take you to class. I was filled with mixed emotions as I watched you walk proudly into class, no hesitations, all excitement. I had a hard time thinking that you are growing up, and this is the first step of many as you change from my little boy into a big kid-making your own decisions, meeting new people and learning new things. We said prayers last night and this morning your dad was able to give you a father's blessing in which he blessed with the ability to do well in school and also to make new friends and be a good example. I hope you always hold onto the faith that you have now. You told me you knew you would have a good day because you asked Heavenly Father to help you, and dad had said you would in your blessing.

You were so glad to be able to have some of your cute little friends from the neighborhood in your class. Right now your best friend is your next door neighbor Cambree Reutzel. You love playing with her and being creative. We will always love our little monkey, and to me that is what you will always be!
