The Night Before Kindergarten

Tonight was an exciting night for a couple of reasons. Two of the main reasons were...

1. Kiernan got a new book. This is always cause for celebration.

2. Tomorrow is the first day of summer school kindergarten.

To be sure, the two events are related. Because tomorrow is the first day of kindergarten, Kiernan got a new book called, The Night Before Kindergarten. The book came to Kiernan courtesy of the world's greatest kindergarten teacher, Kiernan's Sandi. She sent it to him in cahoots with Pap-Pap and his Uncle Mason. Beautiful.

They sent it out a couple of weeks ago, but we've been holding it for this occasion. We could have held it until the fall, when his actual kindergarten year starts, but we really didn't want to wait. We're all pretty excited about tomorrow. We have no idea how this "summer kindergarten" will relate and stack up to the start of his kindergarten year in August. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

In the meantime, we're excited. Excited as when we get a new book. An excitement that is hard to catch in pictures. As you can see in the picture below, which is a shot of Kiernan right after he's been told that this night he gets a new book. The pictures above, the clearer pictures? Those came after.
