Today is the first day of Kindergarten for my oldest son, Austin. It is official, I am now the mother of a big kid. My vacation time is now dictated by the Leander School District. My tears are now dry and I am thinking that this might be a good thing.


We are off to school. We all walked, or scootered as the case may be, to Austin's school.


Get it. Austin, Texas. Ha ha.


Right outside his class. He went right to it, like he has been going all year, but is still a little unsure.


He thinks having a locker is just about the coolest thing possible.



At our seat, excited to make new friends.


"what, I have parents?" He obviously moves on quickly.
