Tyler's first day at Kindergarten

Tyler started Kindy last Thursday.

What a great adventure for us all.
Thursday and Friday were only half days. Starting Monday they go full days.
Tyler (and I) have been really excited about starting school. On Thursday morning I had the camera out all day. I took photos of Tyler waking up, having breakfast, cleaning his teeth, getting dressed, saying bye to Nan, walking to school etc etc. It was fun and Tyler enjoyed all the attention.

He has a really nice teacher at a great school. There are 3 Kindy classes and his class has about 14 kids in it. He was so brave on his first day. He didn't cry or get upset, he was just a bit nervous when his buddy took him into the class room for the first time. But his buddies said he was fine. He has come home every day full of chatter and excitement. As a mother it is so wonderful to see.

I didn't cry either. The only one who did was Nan, bless her. She came up to see him off from home but she didn't walk over to the school. She didn't want to crowd our special time. But as we walked off and turned around there she was wiping her eyes.

Tyler has got THE best buddies. He has two and they are both excellent, but one particular is just so gentle and caring towards Tyler and he is always there for him. Tyler is very lucky to have him.

On his very first day I couldn't believe how many people we knew came to us to check on us and wish us well. We knew neighbours, friends from church, playgroup, pre-school and friends of friends, even people I met when Tyler was only 2 weeks old! it was just amazing!! I was introducing people everywhere. LOL

Even the principal and his secretary came to greet me at the morning tea that was supplied after the kids went into class. The secretary thought that I would be her number 1 candidate for the tissue box she was carrying, but alas, not I. Alot of my friends have said that they are surprised with me not crying, but also proud of me. I am just so excited for Tyler going off on his next new adventure. Maybe next week, or next month, it may hit me and I may get sad for me, but I will just remember that Tyler is doing so well and he is where he is meant to be.

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!
