E's First Day of School

Last year, around this time, Ethan was watching an episode of Handy Manny about Chico going to pre-school. I made the mistake of telling him that one day he was going to go to pre-school. It's hard to explain to a 3 year old that yes you are going to go but not until next year. Everyday he would ask, "Am I going to school today?" And I would reply, "Nope, you still have 11 months." He eventually forgot about it, and we avoided that episode of Manny.

Well, the time finally came. He had orientation 2 weeks before school actually started. He got to go and meet his teachers, read some books, and make some super cool glasses. After he made his glasses Miss Ann took him to the mirror to see how he looked. He very seriously looked at himself and after a few seconds told her, "Yep! I look good."

Last Thursday was his official First Day of School. He did great! When I took him in he put his backpack in the cubby and was off. I had to hunt him down to say goodbye. He gave me the typical "Nothing." answer when I picked him up and asked him what he did that day, but throughout the day he would remember something fun he did and come running to tell me.


I had big plans for his First Day of School photo shoot. I never took into consideration that I would have 3 other little boys running around and that I would have to get 2 of the 3 ready for the day as well. Oh well, the pictures are still pretty cute.
