Preschool

It is official that both of my boys are in school! I called Chad after I dropped Nixin off for his first day and told him that half of me wanted to bawl and the other half was screaming with excitement.

Nixin did awesome. I worried a little about how well he'd do, but what I should have remembered is that last year every day that we took Jack to school, Nixin would put on his backpack and think he got to go to school with Jack. Then I would make him hop back in the car with me and back home we'd go. Nixin has been waiting a long time for his turn to go to school. When we got there today he said "Bye Mom I have to go hang up my backpack" and off he went. He was so brave and very excited to be there and he was all smiles when it was over. He can't wait to go back on Thursday.

Kindergarten!

Wow! My boy started kindergarten today. I can't believe he is so big already. Jack was so excited to start school that he could hardly stand it. We took our time getting ready, snapped a few photos, and then Jack literally ran all the way to school. Notice in the pictures how the day starts with huge smiles and a lot of energy. After we reach the school his face is full of concern. Then, after school, huge smiles again. I thought that was funny. He had a good time, really likes his teacher, Mrs. Bibo-Brown (the lady "with curls just like me only gray"), and can't wait to go back tomorrow.
