1st day of Kindergarten

Today was Austin's first day of Kindergarten! He got up at his normal time this morning, 5:30 am, and started with breakfast. Cinnamon sugar toast, yum!



And yes, he's wearing his Christmas jammies from 2 years ago! They are also two sizes too small, but he refuses to give them up!

After getting dressed, we headed outside to take some pictures.



This would have been a cute picture if he actually had his eyes open!



Since Austin was taking his Daddy to school in his backpack, Abigail had to take her Daddy to Miss Sole's house. She also had to pose for a picture, just like Austin.



We dropped Abigail off then headed to school. Because you can accompany your child into school the first day, we had to park in the housing area across the street from the school.



So off we went!



One of Austin's friend from the CDC was in his class. I made them pose for a picture together!



Once they got into their room, they were told to place their bags on their chairs and have a seat to wait for directions.



What a good listener! Ha!



I held it together, even while walking away from the school.



Thumbs up Mom! No tears on the first day, for either of us! :)



From the sounds of it, he had a great day. He was very excited that he doesn't have to take a nap in Kindergarten or at SAS (after school program). However, it all caught up to him on the ride home. It didn't take him long to fall asleep in the car!
I can't wait to see all that he accomplishes this year in Kindergarten!

Daddy Dolls

~~ We interrupt the vacation posts for the introduction of Austin & Abigail's Daddy Dolls! ~~

Before Michael left for Iraq, I knew I wanted to get the kids Daddy Dolls. Had I better planned, they would have arrived before Michael left so he could give them each their "Daddy". But, vacation and preparation for deployment got in the way. I ordered the Daddy Dolls the day before Michael left and they arrived in the mail yesterday. I could have kissed the mail man when he delivered them to the house while I was home for lunch. I couldn't wait to get back home and see the kids faces when they pulled them out of the box.

They didn't disappoint me, THEY LOVED THEM!

Waiting for their surprise!





Austin took one look at his and exclaimed, "Daddy!"





Getting Daddy out of the plastic



Abigail ~ "That's my Daddy"





They wouldn't even look at me so I could take their picture. They couldn't keep their eyes off of Daddy



I told the kids that they could hug and kiss their Daddy Doll whenever they were missing Daddy.
Austin started right away, with a hug first.



And then a kiss



Abigail got her kisses in too



Austin wanted to wrestle with Daddy, just like they do when he's here!



Then Austin wanted me to take a picture of just Daddy.



Abigail again ~ "That's my Daddy"



And more kisses



Daddy even got to go for a ride in the police car



And shopping with Abigail



Of course they slept with Daddy last night when they went to bed. I have a feeling that Daddy is going to be going a lot of places with us over the next year!
