Taylor started school on August 26th (one week after Derek). He wanted to start with Derek and it tortured him to watch Derek go without him. Finally his day came and he LOVED it.
Once in his classroom we took his weight and height, found his cubby and coat hook, and turned his frog in his attendance chart. Then the teacher prepared a hat for them to color at their table. Taylor was happy to see that he sits next to one of his friends from church. McKenna decided that she REALLY wanted to sit and color as well, so I caved and gave her a paper and crayon. She loved it and I knew she would cause a scene when it was time to go. So I said my goodbyes to Taylor and grabbed McKenna (who did cry..surprise, surprise) and ran....well, to the hall. I just had to spy on Taylor for another 5 minutes. It's so fun to watch kids interact with other kids. I would have stayed there all two and a half hours, but I had to cut the strings.
It was very quiet without Taylor. 
They were so cute, all lined up, when I came to pick him up. I don't know when Taylor grew up, but this milestone surely crept up on me. He still loves school and says "I love homework, Mommy. I wish I could do more. I love projects." He does his homework immediately after walking in the door. I think it's a great habit to encourage. I am so proud of my little guy.

I can't believe Taylor is old enough to start school. I guess I sort of associate Taylor with Landon. It's going to be so hard for me when Landon goes to school next year.
yay Taylor (and yay Natalie- Back to having only one kid!) I'm glad he likes the work... I'm sure that makes life easier. Love Allie
Hasn't it gone by so fast? Morgan started K this year, too and it's so hard to believe!
He looks so cute with his backpack on!
wow can't believe it. What a cutie
