The First Day of School!

Yesterday my big boy Jonathan started Pre-K! We have been thinking about and talking a lot about Kindergarten, and I cannot believe it is just one year away! But we won't think about that now...
This year I was able to pick his teachers. One I knew and one I had heard great things about. Jonathan knows about 90% of the kids in his class and a lot of the kids in the second Pre-K class. So he was READY! He wanted to go! And he never looked back! I am so proud of my big boy! 
When I picked him up I asked how it went and he said, "I don't know". Hmm... So then when I started asking specific questions, he exploded with information. I almost couldn't get him to stop talking! He talked about the play ground, lunch time, his friends, reading time...on and on. It was so nice for him to be so happy and for him to be able to articulate it to me! It was a happy mommy moment! 

First Day of Pre-K!

First Day of Pre-K!

Our First Day of School Tradition! It is very similar to last years! Just a few changes! And he wanted to add the "chores" because he loves helping around the house. I was afraid it would come across that I don't do the dishes, I do, I just don't let him help like Daddy does! :) I let him help me with lots of other chores. But Daddy lets him play with water and splash when he is doing the dishes! It's cute! And the Song is one that he made up and sings all the time! We thought it was funny he said Winnie the Pooh for the book, because that was the last book we read the night before at story time.

We also decided to put Ben in this year!!! I was so excited that Ben would have the same teacher, Mrs. Christy, that Jonathan had when he first started in the Toddler class!!! I think that Ben will really enjoy it! And Mommy will really enjoy 5 hours a week to herself! :)
Jonathan goes T, W, Th and Ben goes W.

 

I love this photo. Jonathan is trying to pull Ben's head back so I can see him! I didn't realize this was happening when I took it because I was trying to get away from a bug! But I laughed so hard when I downloaded and found it! - Of course these are my opinion of what Ben's favorites are!

Sweet Brothers on Ben's first Day of Pre-School (Jonathan's second day)

I haven't decided if I like this photo or not! I messed with it in Photoshop. But it's the ONLY photo from this morning that they are both looking at me!

I just LOVE these boys!

Wait Up!!!
