Hardly able to contain his excitement..


My child is about to burst from the excitement of going to school. I got him a new backpack and lunch bag last week, and he has been anxious to use them ever since. He immediately came in from purchasing them and put a Kool-Aid in his lunch box. Tonight he decided to finish packing his lunch. I discovered that he had put several more items in his lunch sack, and he was so very proud of himself. I went ahead and helped him pack some school supplies. I had purchased a pencil sharpener. After I sharpened the first pencil, he decided he wanted to try. I never dreamed he would be able to do it, but he did, with no problem. He was so very proud of himself! He cannot wait to go to school. He will be going to the co-op on Tuesdays starting in 10 days. He will be in the Kindergarten class with Kaden, and we are very excited about that!


Here are the lunch items he packed for himself - Kool-Aid, 3 packages of breadsticks and cheese, one package of peanut butter crackers, and 2 packages of fruit snacks.



He said he looked like a turtle with his backpack on.



He was concentrating on sharpening that pencil. He looks way too young to be doing this! Look at that baby face.


In case you haven't seen it, this is his very proud of himself expression.

My baby boy ready for school. He is just so excited!
