The first day...

It finally came,

after a long fun filled summer

The Boy's first day of Kindergarten

He worked hard preparing lunch for himself and his Daddy

As he was getting dressed the next morning, the Benjamin Button in him returned

He tried to coherse me into helping him get dressed.

Son, you're gonna be 5 years old, you're going into Kindergarten.

You need to dress yourself, I explained.

I know Mom, I'm not a man anymore he replied.

I was a bit perplexed.

No, son, you're not a man anymore!

He accomplished the task and we moved on to fixing his shark hair.

He LOVES his shark hair.

I was a bit worried it would be too much for a Kindergarten

but seeing that he was once a man that has grown into a boy

I figured it should be ok.

But by the time we picked him up from school

he had moved on to his hat.

He ripped off his uniform shirt and was ready to go home.

I couldn't believe this little man, ahem, I mean boy.

After school he got to pick a special treat.

When the girls started kindergarten,

I baked a school theme cake and it was ready and waiting for them when they got home.

So yes, I felt LAME this year.

but Daddy came through and found every school theme cookie they had in the store.

We ended the day with a trip to the skate park.

I created a monster taking this kid to the skate park.

Now every chance he gets, he begs to go.

How could I resist, my boy that was once a man, will soon be a real man.

I must relish in the moments.
