First Day of School 2009

Ian has been so excited to go to school. He had been missing school since we moved to Texas. When we moved here there were no spots left in the preschool classes at the schools that I would consider putting him in so he sat out for a semester. When I asked him if he was ready to go back to school, I got an emphatic YES!

We got up and did our morning routine. I had to prod Ian to eat his breakfast, but he managed to eat most of it. We got dressed and then took some photos to remember the first day of MDO-3.

He was super excited about his dinosaur "munch bag" and backpack.

Then, of course, we had to get Aaron in a couple of photos:

And then in the hallway before school started:

Ian went in like he was right at home. He did ask for a hug and a kiss, but then didn't look back once. He went right in to play with the 2 children that were already there.

Aaron and I were able to get so much done while Ian was gone. We did some grocery shopping. I managed to get the kitchen floors vacuumed and mopped. I also vacuumed the rest of the house and relaxed a bit before lunch.

We went back to pick Ian up at 2:30pm. The teacher said he had been very good. He was filthy and told me that he had fun. He learned that God created the world, colored some pictures, played on the playground, and played games. He seemed to like the pedal go round out on the playground and told me what the rules were: "No running. No splashing. No running." I assume the splashing was in the sink. :) He proudly brought his folder home. He was pretty wiped out and took a 2 hour nap!

(and just for comparison, here is the boys pictures from last year's first day of school! I can't believe how much they both have grown.)
