1st Day of School

Yippee!!!! It's finally here. Liam's first day of Kindergarten. A certain 5-year-old had trouble getting to sleep last night because he was so excited.

Liam got ready this morning in half the time that it normally takes. We had a little issue getting him out of the bath and dressed, but after that he made up for lost time. He ate breakfast faster than we have ever seen, and then we were absolutely shocked when he got up and brushed his teeth without having to be asked. Brushing the teeth without a struggle is huge -- it is such a rare, rare occurrence.

He had his backpack on and was standing at the front door 40 minutes before the bus was to arrive. After 10 minutes of waiting inside he decided he needed to be at the bus stop -- "just in case the bus is early."

So proud of his new backpack. He wanted me to post more pictures of it at different angles, but figured I spare everyone.
Liam with his best friend, Nicky. Liam has the same teacher that Nicky had last year. It's all so exciting.
The bus!
Getting on the bus. Mommy cried of course.
