Mom to 3_JJJ: First Day of School

Yeah, I know, it has been almost two weeks of school for us and I'm just now writing about the boys first day of school. Forgive me. Anyway, August 25, 2008 was the first day of school for us here in Magnolia. My oldest started 2nd grade and was less than thrilled that school was starting but my DS #2 was starting kindergarten and was over the moon excited to start school! It was a daily question through out summer "is today the day I get to go to kindergarten?" Believe it or not he stayed that excited all through summer and was up and out of bed faster than I'd ever seen him on that August morning. DS #1 has begun to realize that school is not all that bad and even seems a bit on the excited about going. Okay, back to our first day. We dropped off DS #1 first. He really likes his teacher and DH and I are pleased as well. He has a few classmates from his class he joined mid-year when we moved here. Here is a picture of him saying good bye to his lil sister whom he misses a lot...

He had a great first day of second grade! Way to go bubba! So proud of you!

Now this was also the first day of kindergarten for my DS#2. He's been so excited about going to school that he was not sure he'd make it through the summer. Of course he doesn't really understand what "summer" meant but daily he'd pose the question of whether or not it was time to go to school. When that first day came he was up an at em' the first time I said my morning wake up call "it's time to rise and shine". You can see for your self that he's was happy as a lark.

Now I believe this is the first time that I've actually followed through and gotten the same type of pictures of my DS#2 as I did for my DS#1...WOW. Enjoy and know it was a tear free drop off all around!!!
