Bet you'll never guess who cried on the 1st day of kindergarten

It surely wasn't this girl. Does this face look excited or what? Don't think I've ever seen her so excited as she was the night before and the morning of the first day. I should've counted how many times she asked me if it was time to go yet. What a change from last year when she was crying because she didn't want to go to school. So glad we waited a year!
Some of you might think I was the one in tears, but after having all three kids home 24/7 this past year, I waved and smiled and didn't look back.


Somehow Matsen missed the memo that he wouldn't be accompanying Jazlyn to school. He cried all the way out of school, home, and for awhile after we were home because he wanted to stay at school with her. I guess he thought preschool was the same thing as kindergarten. Once he calmed down, I think he enjoyed our quiet afternoon together while Kelston napped. I know I did. But we were all excited to see her when school was over. We were only home 5 minutes before she asked if she could back again, twice in one day.

I am so glad that she was so excited and I bet you were excited to have a small break after having 3 home!

Jazlyn looked darling for her first day of school. As you were taking your first to kindergarten I was taking my youngest to his first year of college!! It goes fast so enjoy every minute. I know Matsen will enjoy his time with mom. I love you, Mom xooxox

Kindergarten is a good thing. It is nice to have a little break during the day, especially when you have two more little ones at home!

I'd say that constitutes a very successful future as a student. How cute that Matsen wanted to be with her so much.
