Jackson starts kindergarten

Jackson started kindergarten Monday August 29, 2011 at Ascension where he also attended preschool. He was acting a little goofy so I asked hm if he was nervous and he said "YES"! I was impressed he could express that! He went in with a big smile and looking a bit sleepy, it's hard for him to get up by 7am! So, I think it's official.....He's a BIG KID now!!!
Jack and Ava's school! I've been told winning the Blue Ribbon award is a pretty big deal! Guess that's why they have a Huge sign advertising it!!
Jack as always had Ava there to witness his big milestone! She was just as excited for him as I was! She wasn't as sad this time I guess because she was starting preschool the next day! On his second day of school she insisted on coming after all, how could she miss his 2nd day of kindergarten??! So, she was there in her bright blue mermaid pj's, "crazy hair" and her new black mary janes on the wrong feet!
After dropping Jack off, I was fine! I always think of these milestones as new adventures and exciting times for them, ok so I shed some tears his first day of preschool! For the most part, I try to stay cool and collected and act excited so that they're excited! A couple hours after dropping him off I checked Amy Tripple's blog for photog class info and instead came across her post about her daughters first day of kindergarten! She was not fine! She mentioned how when she watched her child going into kindergarten what she saw was her daughter when she was about 2!! This made me think back to when Jack was little! So, now scroll down with me and reminisce, it goes too fast doesn't it?? That's what they say and I can now say the same :(
Best Friends from the start!!
March 17th 2006. So cute and precious! Who would've known he'd spend the next couple months screaming his head off! Those of you there are laughing and nodding right now!!
Jack about 6 months old, not crying anymore and such a Joy too be around! Still is!

Jackson did everything early including walking before 10 months! You can slow down now Buddy! This year like last year will probably go by fast and before you know it you'll be reading a post about Jacks 6th birthday (already have that planned) so I'm giving myself advice right now.....slow down and enjoy every minute of it!!
