Sydney has started kindergarten! I can't believe she is old enough to go to school all by herself. She has looked forward to going to school, especially since she got her doctor's visit and shots (five of them!!!) out of the way. When we found out she would have the same kindergarten teacher Collin had last year, Mrs. Rigby, she was certain kindergarten would be a great experience. Mrs Rigby is wonderful!
Sydney also has a couple of friends in her class. Justin (pictured above) is one of her best friends from her preschool class.
Collin got to go to school a whole week before Sydney (because the kindergarteners where being individually tested). He is now in 1st grade and was able to give Sydney a whole lot of information about school such as the rules of the school, what she is going to do in Mrs. Rigby's class the first week of school, where to put her backpack while playing on the playground before school, etc. He really is an "expert" and it is fun to listen to their little conversations and question/answer sessions everyday about what their school day was like.
Collin's teacher is Mrs. Bryant and he loves her class! He has had a difficult time adjusting to being in school for 7 whole hours (I think mostly because Sydney didn't have to go to school for the first week) but he loves the three recesses and eating school lunch. He is lucky enough to have four really good friends from his church class and the neighborhood in his very small class of 16.

Sydney shows off her new backpack. High School Musical, of course.

Wow, how cute are your two kids. Tell Sydney Congratulations on being such a big girl! And tell Collin that we think it is so neat that he gets to eat at school and have so many recesses. That is so fun to see how excited they are and I can't wait to hear Cole and Savannah's conversations and question/answer sessions as well. What a great family. We love and miss you all. Take care, and we will see you soon we hope. Mike and Nikki
One of my favorite things is to listen to little kids talk to each other and I can totally hear Collin telling Sydney all about what to expect at school. What is happening to our kids?! They are growing up too fast!
I need some pictures of my two little school kids! They looked so excited. This brings back fun memories of my cute kids. Do you remember clothes shopping?
