brandon's 1st day in kinder

this was taken the day of kinder orientation. i cannot believe my oldest kiddo is in school. as eddie put it, he told brandon to enjoy your next 13 years of school. sitting at his desk. i am sure he will get talked to a lot by the teacher. i mean, look at what he's doing here.......
the back where all kids will hang their backpacks. his backpack is bigger than he is. it covers his whole little butt.


his supply list: 1 ream of paper, 1 box sandwich sz bags, 1 box gallon sz bags, 5 boxes of 24 ct crayola crayons, hand sanitizer/wipes, box of tissue, pocket folders w/ prongs, 12 glue sticks (NOT disappearing purple), scissors, 5 sharpened #2 pencils, and double sided tape. his gear: he HAD to have bakugan! backpack, the shoes and thermos. i was going to get him "generic" gear but i remembered how i felt when i was little and wanted nothing generic (but got generic anyways). how was i to deny brandon. i didn't want him to feel sad seeing all his friends with character backpacks & all. 1st day of school breakfast of champions: lucky charms! walking to school so proud----he looks like such a big boy in his school uniform

standing in line in the morning we've had lots of fires in SoCal lately and freakishly, i heard on the news, all the smoke is creating some weird things in the atmosphere and is causing rain. and it rained as the kids were waiting to enter the classroom. brandon is running for cover!




parents were asked to leave and here he is giving bryan a hug.
all the backpacks. there's another similar backpack as brandon's. slightly different so i hope he doesn't come home with the wrong one......... all the parents' donated supplies waiting in line to get picked up he had a good 1st day of school his 1st project. click larger if you want to read what it says and check out brandon's self protrait. i like how he colored his buzz cut!

Oh my goodness, now that's a lot of gear and supplies! this is kindergarten right, not college?! lol...I hope mine is not like that, we'll see! Do you like the uniform? I'm kinda half and half on that....yeah, great for the parents....less worry about clothes, but then the individuality isn't there....I love the pics of Brandon separately with both you and Eddie!! So precious! I can't even imagine how HEAVY that backpack was, poor thing! He looks really happy....awwww! Love it!
