The big first day has come and gone!:) We biked this morning while Jeff stayed home with Michael. Christopher looked sad, but didn't cry, when I left him off. I was quite impressed that he smiled for a (yes, a) picture...he's on a 2-3 year kick of not liking to have his picture taken (must be a scrapper's curse or something, lol). Michael and I biked to pick him up at 1:45 (shortened days this whole week for mini-conferences with the teachers). M fell asleep on the way there:) Christopher seemed a bit too proud of himself for not saying anything at school. Later it came out that he talked with a couple children he knew from other classes at recess, but apparently didn't say anything in his own class. I think within a couple-three days he'll be talking TOO much in class;)
He was adamant that he bring his lunch and liked that, but unfortunately I'm not sure how many turkey sandwiches a kid can really eat! (Or how many lunches a mom can make). He brought: turkey sandwich, grapes, cottage cheese, baby carrots, and a tiny bag of Lego fruit snacks for a treat. He knew he could buy milk there but drank the water in his lunch box. Now that I know it stays cold enough, I think I'll just send milk with him. It sounds like we're going to keep up the bringing the lunch thing! And speaking of, he just fell asleep so I better get downstairs and make his lunch!

Even though I just saw him recently, he looks so much older! I'm glad to hear he had a great first day, although I'm very surprised that he didn't talk much! :)
Kids can survive on turkey sandwiches for a whole school year! Just ask Grace. :) She would also think that C's lunch box was cool, since that looks like hers from last year.
OMG, he looks so grown up. I know these kids are getting to me worse than when Teddy and Grace went to K. I look forward to seeing his journey thru Kindergarten.
He looks so grown up. Hard to believe that these little keesters are now in kindergarten! I'm glad that he had a good first day. Will be anxious to more stories in the days to come.
Oh, he looks so BIG. I like your pic of his backpack, and him looking away from you. And I LOL at him not talking!
I don't think your going to have to worry about Christopher talking in class, once he's comfortable, look out! and BTW, Connor took at PB&J EVERY DAY for 7 years, no exceptions....LOL
WOW...how does the time fly. Congrats on sending your oldest off to school.
Awww...adorable pictures! He looks so grown up! Glad he's off to a good start.
Don't worry about the turkey sandwiches. Bailey survived on peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for at least 2 full years of school. I used to make a week's worth at a time and freeze them. To this day, I can make a PBJ faster than anybody, and I don't even like 'em!! lol
What great photos. And WOW what a backpack and lunch pack! That's neat you can bike him to school and back!!!
Great photos! Glad he had a good first day. :)
