First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Conall's first day of Kindergarten. He couldn't get out of the door fast enough this morning.

Originally, we had planned on all of us taking him to school his first day, but Caitlin had a vomiting spell late last night (the first in about a month and a half). We didn't want to wake her up early since it was such a bad one, so Stu took Conall to school.

Conall didn't seem remotely concerned that I wasn't going -- he just wanted to go right NOW. Of course, Conall, Caitlin, and I had gone to the school's "Meet the Teacher" day yesterday afternoon, so I guess I was covered there.

Conall got to school and immediately fell into line. He sat up straight, listened to his teacher's instructions, and started bossing other kids at his table to do what the teacher had instructed. He even yelled at friends across the room to sit down, etc.

Here are pictures of this milestone day that Conall just cruised right through, eager to go on to the next big thing.
