Our lives change forever after this momentous day and it starts with waking up when it is still dark outside.
One thing that Wilson has been greatly anticipating is taking his lunch to school in his new Spider Man lunch bag.
Nothing like the excitement of opening your lunch box and finding a LITTLE DEBBIE snack in there waiting for you. I wanted Wilson's first day to be special and so hopefully he will enjoy his treat. Because I don't usually buy stuff like this!
Here he is--ready to go. Sniffle...Sniffle. I think the fireplace will be the designated *first day of school* photo location. I guess next year we can see how much he's grown. He already looks SO grown up. Sniffle....Sniffle.
Here is Wilson and his Daddy in front of Melissa Ridge Elementary School. Dropping Wilson off the first day was very hectic and a little traumatic. Our plan was to park and take him inside to make sure he was settled. Well, somehow we got into the carpool lane by accident. Suddenly we were dropping him off, giving hugs, and saying good-bye!! I was lucky to have snapped this photo quickly before he was rushed inside. I frantically cried out in my heart, "Wait! WAIT! I'm not ready!" Maisy and I cried the whole way home. She kept saying, "We CAN'T leave Wilson!" and I replied, "But we HAVE to!" Luckily by the time we got home and listened to the message on the phone that was waiting for us--our worries subsided somewhat. Daddy had found a parking space (after much swearing and dirty looks from other parents) and went to make sure Wilson was safe and doing okay. Of course he was okay because he's WILSON.
I love you, Wilson! We are so proud of you.

BOO HOO! it's so sad isn't it?? I remember when we were pregnant with those little boogers and now they're gone.
It's been over a month and it still isn't any easier. Just wait till he gets sick! You'll totally spoil him rotten because you're so stinking happy to see his face for lunch!
I can't wait to hear how it went and read all his updates. He looks great! Hapy first day of school!!!!
And I hope you and Maisy are going to go do something girly and fun today!
wow!! everyone is going to school. Looks like he'll have a great lunch a fun day.
when does the new elementary school open in liberty??
I know just how you feel. As soon as Zach walked through the door, I felt this rush of emotion and had to concentrate not to cry. We just got Zach a Spiderman bag as well. "All the other kids at school had characters on their bags", so he didn't like the red one we already had here at home anymore. Scott's kind of lost here at home alone. We have some good one on one now though. I'm sure Maisy feels the same way. So much fun!!
Kaleb went to kindergarten this year too, Alanna is so lonely without him. Wilson sure looked excited which makes it easier to send them.
CONGRATS TO WILSON! What a great milestone!
FUN stuff :) Driving Brinley to school I started tearing up, then I had to get ahold of myself so she didn't think she needed to be sad too. After school both days now, on the way home, she's asked me if I cried. I think she's almost a little disappointed that I didn't cry. BUT I assured her I DID MISS HER!!! Good job big boy Wil :)
Becki--The new elementary school opens next fall. That's gonna be an easy commute! It will be all nice and new too.
Shara--It does make is so much easier when they are excited to go. Wil was very eager and happy. Today he asked me when Saturday is. What does that mean?
Happy Kindergartening Wilson! Janelle is SO jealous. She talks about going to school every day because a lot of her friends started this year. (It's going to be a LONG year!)
He sure looks grown up! Hope you and Maisy are adjusting Kasia!!
That made me cry!
I can't believe Wilson is a big Kindergartener now!

Wow! Already in kindergarten! Can you believe it?! I bet it was so hard, especially that first day. What a BIG boy he is! That is so exciting. I hope he loves it - I'm sure he will! See you at church (finally!):-)
Aww! Wilson is so big, I can't even believe that he's going to kindergarten. I remember when you had him and when you first moved into our ward so long ago! And Maisy is such a good sister to miss her big bro. (Oh, and hey, send me your email address at amyn2217@gmail.com and I'll invite you to my new blog)
=)
What a big day! I can't believe we have Kindergartners! Libby started on August 1 (boo year-round Utah school). I hope he is enjoying it as much as Libby does.
We miss you guys.
I always wanted to have cool lunches with the treats in them - I would have thought you were the coolest mom ever! I can't believe Wilson is that old - I still picture him to be almost 2!
