Cody's First Day of Kindergarten was today! We had a fun morning eating homemade pancakes and homemade syrup for breakfast, packing lunches and snacks, and Cody getting a blessing from Steve to start off the year right. Then, Kylee and I walked him to school after taking some pictures of him on Sara and Bob's porch (which is ours too until we move in to our house again....ah, the memories this porch will bring some day). I took a picture of Cody's new backpack that he got for his birthday from Grandpa Airplane and Grandma Tammy and captured his do-it-himself haircut all at the same time (see the baldspot above his ear??)
When Kylee and I dropped him off at school in the auditorium with the other kindergarteners he made me so proud. Cody was so brave. When it was time for his class to line up and head out he gave me a quick hug and kiss and then said, "bye!" without any hesitation. It made me so happy to see him that way.
While Cody was gone Kylee put on a smaller backpack we have and wore it around the house for a good part of the day.
And guess what? When Kylee (still wearing a backpack), Steve, and I picked him up 7 hours and 16 minutes later he was still in one piece. I was greeted with a big, happy hug.
He survived. And so did we.
And then of course I drilled him for information...
And here are some of the highlights of his comments about school:
"I sit by a girl named Kylee, but she spells it different than we do."
Cody: "I got to color my name tag." Then I asked, "What did you draw on it?"
Cody: "I totally can't remember."
"I wish I could ride the bus, but I live too close so I have to walk."
"There are a lot of black people in my class, but I don't know any of their names because they are hard to remember." :)
And tomorrow we have the day off and so we're going to the zoo. I love Rosh Hashana! :)

AH! I cannot believe how grown up he is. Sounds like he's off to a terrific start, all thanks to his totally awesome parents. I'd love to Skype with you guys sometime. Sounds like the whole gang is having a ball.
I love and miss you guys a ton! Say hello to everyone.
Yay Cody! I'm glad he likes his school. He is going to do great.
What fun! All day kindergarten, eh? That is rough! I'm glad he made it and had fun and I LOVE all his comments about school!
What a cutie. Those pictures are great. I can totally see a lot of Steve in Cody's expressions.
What a brave little guy. SO cute.
I've just been catching up. Looks like you guys are having way too much fun. Nail polish - what a great smell to wake up to! Six Flags with the family. Jelly fish. Birthday chains. Indoor rainstorms - yikes!! Sister in PA (I actually didn't know that. Grandpa told me. How FUN!) Playing with a new cousin - SUPER cute little man. New Berta for Kylee. Love that smile - and curls! I wish we could see you all more. Thank goodness for blogs - although its nowhere near the same. Glad to see you all still smiling.
