We all woke up this morning so excited! Almost as soon as Nathan opened his eyes...he said..."I am SOOO lucky! I get to go to school today!" (May he continue to feel those "lucky" feelings for the next 18++ years!)Joshua and Nathan both got up, had breakfast, got dressed (Nathan with his "rainbowish" shirt), and even had their hair slicked (Nathan put extra water on his hair because he knows extra slick="extra handsome"). We took pictures and made it to the car so early in the morning...we had to invent one errand, one walk down the sidewalk, and one random drive in the car just to kill time until it was time.
You wouldn't have known which boy was going to school, until one got out at a friend's house and one continued on with me to preschool orientation. Both were equally excited at the idea...both carried around a backpack all morning...both needed to have their "first day of school picture" taken. (Thank goodness both had fun places to go!)
Nathan had a great time in the new classroom and is really excited to go back Thursday for the real thing.
I decided a celebration was in order...I took us to McDonald's to feast on the dollar menu. (I can't decide who is celebrating this new chapter in our lives more--Nathan or me!) But, my favorite part was that Nathan kept saying, "I'm so glad that we could celebrate my birthday...oh...I mean my first day of school today." (I think it's a good sign if you keep mistaking the day for your birthday right?!)
It's just so fun to have a boy with sparkly eyes about being kind of grown up. And, it's such a relief for me to know that I'm not the only one in his life that's going to create enriching moments for him in the days to come. Hurray for preschool!
My growing-up boy!

How fun! We also celebrated at McDonald's there is just something about an icecream cone and playplace that just can't be beat.
I don't know if you knew this, but Dave is a store manager at McDonald's so we are there ALOT! When Tina was potty training, she earned an ice cream for going poop in the toilet. Isn't school fun? I love the fact that they are so eager to soak in anything and everything! I had to enroll Braden in preschool when Tina started kindergarten because he wanted to be like his sister too. Your boys are so adorable. They look so happy and excited. I bet it is fun to be their mom!
Congratulations Nathan! That is a big day and definately warrants a trip to McDonalds! Your boys look so old all the sudden.
Horray for school! Isn't it such a nice feeling to have the someone sharing in the teaching moments?? I remember having those very thoughts when I sent my two boys to school. Your little ones looked so excited to be going to school...and so very adorable!!
Hey Miriam! I found your blog from Steph's. Your little boys are darling. It's good to "see" you.
