The 1st Day of Kindergarten

Here he is, bright and early this morning! He was SO ready to go!


I post this one merely for comparison's sake with the photo below it.


Yes, that's me on my first day of school, sometime in the early 80s...please note the Strawberry Shortcake bag. She was my favorite. (So much so that I just bought Harper this shirt...)


Speaking of H, this photo makes me go "Awwwwww!" She soooooo wanted to stay with Cole and go to Kindergarten, too. Here she's looking through the window into his classroom after we told him goodbye. She's since asked about him several times, but has also raided his room for cars, so I think she may have discovered the good thing about him being gone!

The weirdest part about school (besides the whole trust-your-child-with-a-complete-stranger-thing) is that it will be just the two of us at lunchtime today. For almost 6 years Cole and I have had lunch together and now he won't be here. Supposedly he'll be arriving home via the school bus around 2:15 (there's that whole trusting-a-stranger-thing again!) He is SO excited to ride the bus. I don't remember much about my first day of school but I do remember being excited to ride the bus, too.

ETA: The skirt that Harper is wearing is from the J.Crew crewcuts for kids division. I hate to tell you this but the pink is sold out. There are still some yellow ones in larger sizes available here.

    Awwwww... Harper looks so sweet peeking in his window. Stewart has been missing Molly, also. Although I think he's enjoying watching something other than Hannah Montana for a change! I saw that shirt the other day! Love it!

    a long time ago, one of the first of yours that caught my eye. My how time flies by!
    I love that pic of you, Miss Strawberry Shortcake. I think I had a crush on her too when I was little. :)
    Love the pic of Harper - so cute! And I've love to know about that skirt as well.

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
      • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
