First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for the boys and me! They did not want to participate in having their pictures made before we left for school, so I will try again when they get up from nap. Andy was nice enough to stay home this morning until we all left, just to help me get back into a routine and to see the boys off. I thought since they were being so ornery this morning they were going to cry at school, but no way! They walked right in like big 2 year olds! I was so proud of them! I was right next door to them, but they had no clue and we will see how long that lasts.

Here is a picture the boys teacher sent of them on their first day. I think that I was the only mom that didn't have a camera that day, only because I was afraid they would scream. Cale and Carter are in the white shirts.

My first day also went very well. There were five 1 year olds in my class today, we are suppose to have six but one little girl isn't walking yet. We only had one little girl that cried for just a little bit. She settled down when we went on a buggy ride, it is a long triple jogging stroller and there are two so each teacher has a stroller. we then took them out on the playground and then came in for "tea party" and some coloring. It was fun and it is amazing how you forget how much more guidance 1 year olds need, meaning they don't know how to sit down when you tell them to. I have a feeling they will catch on quickly and we will have a great year.

Here is a picture the boys' teacher sent of Carter at school. I didn't get one for Cale so I guess he didn't want his picture made this time, but I think that is his arm in the right corner of the picture.

Here is what the boys did on their first day of school. They colored a picture using Do A Dots. The yellow sheet is what their teacher send home to let us know what they did, ate, how they behaved and potty issues. They luckily have the same teachers as last year, so I think that makes it easier for them. Although, they did try and walk into the 1 year old class this morning.

Here is a picture of the boys before their first day of school last year. They had so little hair! I was going to dress them in the same shorts, unbelievable they still fit, and a similar shirt just for fun, but Andy didn't like that idea.
