"These are my Sketchers"

Oh the excitement....

Waking before the sun is up, preparing my very first school lunch, making sure his name is on all his belongings and his uniform is all ready to go. I don't know who was more excited about Kindergarten, me or him.

A few weeks ago we went out and got him new shoes. I wanted to get him a nice pair that would last though out the year. So we went to the sketcher outlet store and he picked out some "Z-Straps". I made him wait until the first day of school to wear them. Here is a picture of him showing off his new shoes!

Here we go... our first walk to school!

When we arrived at his classroom his teacher said
"Hi, Luke."
His reply, "These are my Sketchers."

We went in and found the table with his name on it. His school is participating in the Breakfast Express Program, so they get to eat breakfast in their classroom first thing. Nice for me. It means I don't have to yell at him "Eat faster or we are going to be late" like I did last year during pre-school.

He was so excited to be there. He didn't have any apprehensions about being away from home. So... one day down, a bazillion more to go until he has his doctorate!

PS Later that night we went over to my parents, I told Luke to get his shoes on and he put on his other pair. I told him he could wear his new ones. But he told me that he didn't want to because he didn't want them to get dirty. I wanted to squeeze him, I just love him!
