Bryn was anxious (when all along we thought Henry would be) and didn't eat more than two bites for breakfast. They were both lucky to have Grandpa Affeldt and Grandma Hinsa at our house to take part in the big day. Grandpa has perfect handwriting so the kids had him write their names on their backpacks and new lunch boxes.
Henry needed an expert to tie his shoes for the first day.
I still can't look at this picture without choking up either. Off they go into the world!!
The closer we got to school the slower Bryn walked. Usually she is the one in front but not Wednesday.
Checking out their lockers to find that their teacher had placed their mat and art smock in each one!
Bryn at her desk.
Henry all smiles with his new table buddy.
This was my last pic that I managed to take through the tears. It took the parents a bit to catch on that we needed to leave so the lights were dimmed a couple times to give us the hint. Henry blew me kisses and Bryn turned around with a huge grin and Jay, mom and I slowly walked out counting down the minutes until we could pick them up.
The end of the day pic. Henry is behind Bryn, and they are trying out their line order for pick up. They each give their teacher either a high 5 or a hug. Of course they both gave her a huge hug and then chatted about their day the whole way home. Bryn loved the computer class and Henry thought rest time was fun especially when he got to tap every child on the head to wake them up!
"Mommy, I stared so hard at Mrs. Nesbit all day so she knew I was listening."
At 5:45am yesterday (the second day of school) they came into our bedroom to tell us that they needed to get dressed now so they wouldn't be late for school and then asked every 10 minutes or so for the next two hours when we could leave. Then last night Bryn confided in Jay..."Daddy, I just love it".
