Kindergarten
That time is here again - school time! And this year, Nathaniel is in kindergarten! He started last Thursday and Joey went into work late so that we could all take Nate in for his big day. For anyone new to my blog, Nathaniel had been in the preschool program at the same elementary school for more than 2 years so he's not new to the school, the people there or even his kindergarten classroom. Last Feb/Mar, Nate's team felt it would be good for Nathaniel to start visiting Mrs. Miller's kindergarten class across the hall from the preschool class. So Tues-Fri, he would spend a half an hour per day in his soon to be permanent kindergarten class. He loved it and constantly talked of Mrs. Miller.
Last week, we started preparing Nate for school starting and as always, he began with a "I don't go to school!" and within a couple of days, he had adjusted to the idea. The week prior we'd actually gone in to meet Mrs. Miller and to see the classroom and tour the school. He was a bit shy while we were standing with him, but the moment Mrs. Miller took over, we were toast. He fell right back into routine of listening and following directions.
Thursday morning came around and he was extremely excited. We had the chance to walk inside to the classroom with him and see how they go in each morning and hang up their bags and then sit on their carpets. And then we were sent out! :) Pictures you say? OF COURSE!! Take a peek of our kindergartener!! Oh and this is a typical kindergarten class - not a special needs class. YAY!!
Natey in the same spot we take a picture each year! We have 2 others like this one already! Isn't he handsome?

Although the color is odd because of being in some bright sun, I LOVE this pic. We were standing outside on the extremely crowded pavement waiting to enter the building.
Here's Natey getting ready to walk inside with his teacher (in the pink dress).

He looks so grown up. What a handsome young man you have. How special for him that you all went along and helped him feel comfortable on such a big day!
You must be so proud that he is in the traditional class. Your hard work and security have helped him come so far.
This post is a happy one but brought tears to my eyes. You are one extra special family.
What an exciting day! He looks so cute, especially in that last picture on the carpet.
Those are great pics. It looks like he is really excited to be there!
He's too cute! He looks so much older than kindergarten-age to me.
Awwww!!!! He looks so happy!! :) My baby starts K in two days. *sigh* *sniff* lol!
Awww! Kindergarten is so bittersweet. They're still your baby, but so grown up! He looks happy to start and so adorable!
Allan was looking over my shoulder when I looked at these last night and he said, "that little boy has the prettiest eyes!" lol
It's true, too.
I'm glad he likes school and does so well and how exciting that it's a typical K class! Go Nate!
He is so handsome! Great pictures as usual Brandy!
