Luken's first day of Kindergarten, in his own words. :)

I finally figured out where my video camera to PC cord was, and have even managed to get some videos processed, woohoo! This morning I even remembered how to produce them for the web, so maybe I will actually get more videos posted here from time to time. (Though it is an arduous process, so don't expect daily video production or anything!! :P)

Anyway, without further ado, here is Luken telling us all about his first day of Kindergarten!

Keeley is officially a Preschooler!

Yes, it's true - our baby girl is not really a baby anymore at all!!

We met her teachers (she has TWO!) last week, and they sent her home with a paper apple to decorate.






She got all dressed in some new clothes. She and Daddy picked out the shirt when we did our back-to-school shopping for Luken! :)
She also had a pretty bow in her hair!


I tried to get her attention, and she struck this funky pose. :P


Each child's name had been written on a frog, and the kids had to find their name and place their frog on the lily pad. Keeley found her name with no assistance!!


Ms. Stephanie was outside helping with the frog task:

(On a side note, Ms. Stephanie's daughter was in Luken's class at the same school last year!)

Ms. Jane was inside the classroom, helping everyone get situated.




Keeley found where her backpack goes!


Then she washed her hands!


And sat down to play Play-Doh! Yay!


After that, the teachers gently announced that it was time to say good-bye, so all the parents had to go. :( :)
Keeley did GREAT! No tears! None from Mommy, either. I knew she was in good hands, and she seemed happy, so I was happy!

After school she got to experience carpool pickup for the first time, and she did great! Then we went and picked up Luken from Kindergarten and headed to our favorite store for chocolate milk, and frosted cookies for a special first-day-of-school snack!

We are so proud of Keeley for being such a big girl! :D
