Here are my guys on their first day, which was this past Wednesday:
They weren't too thrilled about getting up early, but they made it through. Nathan had no qualms at all about kindergarten, which helped me hold it together, since I have been emotional about this milestone all summer. I went into his classroom with him and helped him put away his stuff, find his seat, and get acclimated. He seemed to be doing well, and I had some work I needed to do in my own classroom, so I left. There were several moms and dads still there, and I wondered if I should have stayed a little longer. When I picked him up at the end of the morning and asked about his time there, I asked him if he wished I had stayed longer. He said "No. I was a little nervous when you left, but I started talking to some people and then I was fine. That is how it is when you go to school, Mom. You make new friends and it helps you to not be scared." Oh. Okay, thanks. So I think he is off to a good start.

P.S. Does anyone know why my pictures are so small? I crop them to 4x6 size in Digital Image Pro before I upload them to Photobucket; could that be why?
