First day of school!

Well today was Wade's first day of school. I was really worried about taking him and just knew he would cry. It has taken 4.5 months of going to the gym almost every day to get him to go in without crying. The last few weeks he has gotten over the tears and has started walking right in. So I just knew that school would be the same way since he is not used to going there. Well my big boy proved me wrong!! We got up this morning and started talking about school. I would say "Wade is going to school today...yeah" and he would say "school." Well then I would get really excited and sing a little song to get him pumped up. Well after I made up a song about going to school he looked at me and said "beach." This boy does not forget a thing. Last week we sang a song "going to the beach" over and over again and since I am not one for singing or making up stuff that is the same way the school song went. Well he remembered but I had to break the news to him that we were not going to the beach. So we took a few pictures and got all ready to go this morning. We went a few minutes early so we could walk around and talk about it some more. He of course ran towards the playground first. We headed inside at 9am and they had a little baby gate up at the door. He went to the door and was so excited when he saw all the toys and they even have a little blow up climbing toy with a slide. He completely surprised me and gave me a kiss and walked right in with his teachers. They said he did great today. They went outside twice, had music and snack and just played. They said that at 1130am he was done and went to sit by the door and look for me. He whined a little bit and we picked him up at 1145am. I just love everyone I have met at his preschool and can't wait for next week. I came home and relaxed and cleaned the house. It was a great break for both of us! Here are his first day of school pictures.

p.s. My mom always took a first day of school picture of us beside our car. Well it always cracks me up to look at those because my dad owned a used car dealership when we were growing up so my mom had a different car all the time. I don't think we have two pictures by the same car. I just love my little Mazda but it is so small so I would not be too sad if next year Wade is standing beside a different car!!
