First Week of School

After a very fun, busy summer, the boys finally started their first week of preschool at Summit.  I think we were all getting a little antsy so everyone was very excited leading up to this week.  We met both of their teachers last week and were very impressed with all of them.  Harrison was most excited about seeing his teachers from last year and is still wishing that he could be in their class again, but I think once he gets more comfortable he will be just as excited about his new teachers.  Harrison started back yesterday so we took our customary first day of school pictures.

I had seen an idea to take a picture of your child holding a picture of his first day from the year before.  I thought this was really cute, so here he is.  Its hard to tell the difference and really, to me, he looks pretty much the same, but he did shoot up a few inches.  Here is his last year's picture:

His head was below the deadbolt on the door last year and is now just above it.
He was being silly, but he let me take a few pics.  I loved these two, I just wish they weren't so blurry!  Oh how I miss my camera!!

He had a great first day and his old assistant teacher said that every time she saw him throughout the day, he was glowing and having a great time!  Exactly what a mom wants to hear!

Davis was upset yesterday when Harrison was getting ready for school and it took me a little while to realize that it was because he wasn't going to school.  When I got him up this morning, I told him it was his first day of school.  He put his hand in my face and said "no!".  Uh oh!  I made the boys a big breakfast and he finally came around and kept raising his hand and saying "Meee!!!!  Meeee!" because he was excited to go.  When I asked him if I could take his picture, he got excited and ran and grabbed his school bag.  I think he remembered how Harrison took his pictures the day before.
Of course big brother needed to show him how it was done!

I took a million pictures trying to get them both to smile at the SAME time and this was the closest I came.

Then he got a little distracted by the cool picture on his bag...

I think once we pulled up and I took his seat belt off, he knew what was about to happen and was all smiles.

I was afraid he might get upset when they took him out of the car, but he just hopped on out and walked on in, without turning back once!  Such a big boy!  It almost made me tear up thinking my baby isn't such a baby anymore!  I didn't have time to roll my window down, but I still think its sweet!

 

We have truly loved Summit and I'm so excited to see how much the boys learn this year!
