First Day Of School

The first day of 3rd grade for Noah was Monday, August 15, 2011. This picture explains it all.....
He was excited! He came home telling all about it! He made new friends and saw a few that he already knew from baseball. He is loving it so far. Let's just hope it lasts!

Now, Jonah started K-4 on Tuesday, August 16, 2011. And this picture explains it all...... 
He was all about it over the weekend. He was ready to go, and excited. Well, when I woke him up Tuesday morning, I told him it was his first day of school, and what do you know? The first thing out of his mouth was, "I'm not going!" Oh, it was a long morning at my house!
He wanted nothing to do with taking a picture either! But, I took it anyway! It is the most pitiful face ever!!!! And, do you see those skinny legs???? Bless his heart. His legs are just like mine...were. Cause mine ain't skinny anymore, but they used to be! LOL! Of all thing he could get from me.....why the legs????
But, just so you know, when I picked him up, he was a happy camper! The teacher said he was awesome (her words exactly)! He was so excited. He said he loved it and was gonna go back every day! And....treasure box day is on Friday's. Thank the Lord for treasure box!!!

So, I hate to post more pictures of Jonah than of Noah in this post, but I had to do 2nd day pictures! I just couldn't stand for the pictures to be all sad. So, this is how he looked this morning...
 
He was up and ready in a flash this morning! He had his backpack on his back at 6:50am! I told him it wasn't quite time to leave yet and he said, "I know. I'm just wearing it so I can get used to it!"
He did very good when I walked him in. He was a little shy, but  way better than yesterday! Thank goodness for answered prayers! 
He also wanted me to take a picture of his backpack with Turtle in it! Yes, he takes Turtle to school, but I bought him a new one. We leave old Turtle at home so he has him at bedtime, and he takes School Turtle (that's what he named him) with him for nap. That way, if he accidentally leaves him at school we have Turtle at home! All, is happy!

  2. Oh, I'm so glad Jonah ended up liking K-4! Those first pictures broke my heart, and I can imagine how hard that morning was for you. I hope he and Noah have a great year! You are so right, our babies have grown up so fast. I remember Momma keeping me updated on you when you and I were both expecting Eli and Jonah. I just can't believe how quickly the time has passed!
