With such great anticipation, Brooks started Kindergarten on Wednesday. It was such a proud, sweet moment for me to hold his hand in line as he waited for his teacher to open the door.
No hesitation. No hint of being shy. No fear. His smile was HUGE! The only small tear I got was from how proud I was to watch him walk in his room with great confidence. He’s ready to take it all in and be the best little kindergartener he can be.
I didn’t bring my camera to his classroom door, so I’m sharing a back to school session we did last weekend. We went out to our favorite field and had some fun!
Hope you had a great week! xoxo








Brooks’ favorite song this summer was ‘california gurls’! ooohh, oohhh … can’t you totally hear him singing?!

Rockin’ out!
