And he is off!

How can this baby be going to 4K?

It was the night before 4K and this boy could not have been any more excited! He insisted that we pull the flag down off the front of the house so that he could sleep with it and use it as a blankie!

Now Juliette would always choose her first day of school book to be something related to school and usually "T'was the night before kindergarten." This goofy little guy chose his favorite book "Five Black Cats." If there is a certain trademark of Tripp as you probably know by now, the little guy knows no seasons. Christmas is year round, Fall and Halloween are year round and really anything he is feeling for that day could be year round. 

He bounced and giggled and really took a while to settle down. He was ready to meet Mrs. Sellars!

Tripp could not be more excited than he was when he jumped out of the car and was greeted by two of his besties - Zoey and Emmie! They were all together in 2K and 3K. All three giggled their way into the building.

And we're ready to enter the 4K building!

This year they begin with a farm theme.

He can never know just how much his Mommy loves him!

And then it was time to meet Mrs. Sellars! She is a legend at Christ our King and we could not be more thrilled that Tripp has her for a teacher. He is one of 4 boys and 8 girls in the class. 

They got to work on a little project. In good Tripp form he kept everyone guessing whether he is right handed or left handed. As you can see, using both of his hands. Most of the little ones just dabbed a little bit of glue on each finger... not Tripp! He was determined that he needed all of that glue to make the hand stick! He knows his Mommy will keep it for 40 years so he is right on target... it will be intact for years to come. 

After their "kissing hand" project, it was time for the first story of the year! Mrs Sellars read to all of the children "Kissing Hands."

Then it was time to sing a song... they're all of little nervous!

And then the next day it was time to put on his uniform. When asked what he was most excited about his first day. What was his answer...

Me: "Tripp what are you most excited about today?"

Tripp: "Wearing my blue socks and shoes..."

Me: "Tripp what was the best part of the day?"

Tripp: "Playing and eating!"

It is going to be a wonderful year for you!

I love to watch you grow and I treasure every minute of it!
