Yes, I know it is weird, but I have a kindergartner now. Payton started his first day of kindergarten on Tuesday. His teacher is Mrs. Jensen and he absolutely is loving it......especially riding the bus. Here are just a few funny stories about the big day.
1) This is what he told me the night before his first day! Of course he had already picked out the clothes he wanted to wear and folded them nicely (even his underwear) on top of his backpack. Ha Ha
PAYTON: "Mom, how about when it is time for me to wake up you come into my room and wake me up. Then I will get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush my teeth and then wait by the door."
ME:" Ok, bud, sounds good."
PAYTON : (a few minutes later) "Actually mom, I am going to wake up, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, then get dressed."
ME: "How come you changed the plan?"
PAYTON: "Well cause if I spill breakfast or toothpaste on my shirt, all the kids will say "Dude, you spilled on your shirt"".
--I laughed so hard. Payton has always cared about looking "handsome".
2) This is after his first day of school...he is talking about a little girl (Kaylee) who he has a crush on...although he does not admit it.
PAYTON: "It's just great mom, Kaylee is in Avery and Jaxon and Spencer's class (these are some of his preschool buddies)."
ME: "Well that is OK Payton."
PAYTON: "Yeah, but now she will never want to be my girlfriend."
ME: "I thought that you did not like girls (I have tried to drill that into his head)"
PAYTON: " Well, I don't right now, but what about when I am 18---she is never going to like me."
ME: "Payton that is a lot of years away, don't worry about it."
PAYTON: "Yea!! (Obviously not paying attention to me) " I will just have to play with her at recess." --as if he is thinking of a plan to win her back.
It is so cute to watch Payton get excited about school. He is a great student and he is very patient and excited to learn. He will do wonderful. In preschool he would ask the teacher for more homework papers!!! I love you Payton and I am so proud of you.

What some great stories to remmeber 20 years down the road. I love his comments about Kaylee. So cute! Really cute pics of the kiddos too. I can't believe he's old enough to go to kindergarten. Miss you guys!
Hey! You look so great! Your hair is so long I can't believe it. Payton is getting so big. He's grown so much in the last year (since I've seen him!). I loved hearing about his morning routine and Kaylee. Too cute!
