The First Day of Kindergarten

The first few pictures are at home before we headed off!

I think this will be our "First Day of School" spot for taking pictures. Doesn't he look so sweet?
And, of course, Connor had to get it on the action! "I'm cool too, Mom!"
Here is Bradley enjoying his very favorite pastime. This guy LOVES to read. He reads constantly. I got him a new book for his first day of school, and we couldn't leave until he had finished it!
I cannot believe Bradley is in kindergarten now. That is so weird to me. He started school a few weeks ago, and we are pretty much in the routine now, but it is still so weird. He has had a little bit of a hard time adjusting to all the changes in our lives - moving, school, new friends, and especially having Daddy gone. I think that has really impacted him at school. He has had a few rough days, but overall I think he is doing well. His teacher talked about moving him up to 1st grade because he is such a good reader, but he's not quite ready for that, and neither am I! :)
This picture is just outside Bradley's school.
And these are some of the boys enjoying the kindergarten playground. Halley wasn't walking at this point so she was hanging out with me. I can't believe I didn't take any pictures of her that day. That is so unusual! :)

ENTERING THE SCHOOL!!!

Do you think he looks a little nervous? There were a few kids crying that first day, and I think it kind of threw Bradley off. At least he had his brother there to hold his hand and give hugs!

A little side note - today (it's actually Sep. 24, but remember I'm doing the posts by the date of the pictures) - Bradley was sent to the Principal's office! Yikes, huh? No, it was because he did something good! Hooray! He wrote a little story for his teacher, and she had him read it to the principal. Bradley keeps talking about how the principal said, "Holy smokes!" after he read her the story. I am so proud of him! She even gave him a spiderman sticker. I am so excited. I think he is feeling better about things and adjusting to all the change. I love my Bradley!
