On the first day of first grade...

Well, he's off to school!!  I can't believe my first born is six years old.  Unlike the last two years Ethan was very excited to go to school today.  Here are some pictures from the first day of first grade:

And in case you've never heard the song:

First day of Kindergarten!

After weeks of fretting and saying he did not want to go to school (because he would miss me), I was delighted to hear Ethan say, "Mommy, I like my new school."

He was even surprised when he got home,   He does have one girl form his K4 class, but more familiar are our family friends twin boys that are in the class.  I asked him if he made any new friends and he said that he just hung out with the old ones :)

First day of Pre-K

At seven am sharp my four year old boy bounded into my room wanting to know if his shorts were on backwards.  As I helped him get dressed he told me all about the dream he had, "I dreamed that I woke up and put my clothes on.  Then I waved good-bye to all my friends (my friends were in my room).  Then I left for school.  That was it."  He was so excited he dressed, ate breakfast, and was ready to leave 30 minutes before we could and 45 minutes before we had to.

This one is a little fuzzy, but captures the mood of the morning!

First day of school!!

"This is how you make 11."

Asher needed to check out the toys too!

Asher thinks, "Hey man, I'm ready for this place too!"
