Kindergarten!

Alec's first day of kindergarten was yesterday. He was SO ready & excited.

The morning was crazy, since it was my first day teaching this fall, he still had swim lessons in the morning & I wanted to squeeze in a run at the gym. We were running so late in the end I had him eat a fruit & nut bar in the car for lunch. Poor guy. We made it on time anyway & he got to walk up with Cannon, whilst I got James & Evy out of the car. The kids line up outside, but Alec kept trying to sneak in the classroom.

His teacher asked, "are you Austin?"

His friend Logan replied, "no, he's Alec."

Alec added, "I'm Alec Russell of the Russell family."

I was sure I was ready for this, but I actually teared up & had a hard time. Luckily, Alec didn't & didn't see me get upset. I'm so proud of him! He had a huge smile on his face after class! I asked him if he had fun & he said, "yeah, except when we played the listening game, I don't like that game."

He wasn't too excited to do homework this time, but James wanted to while his big brother was.

His afternoon kindergarten is 11.40-2.10, which means early lunch for us now! His teacher had me bring him in last week for 15 minutes while she assessed where he was, which I thought was great of her (outside school hours). Paul was able to attend the open house as he'd taken Friday off, which means he got to see the classroom and meet his teacher also just before we drove to Utah.
