Alex had his first day of school yesterday. He was so excited! Can't believe he's that old! K-4 is the grade he's in. Basically, kindergarten for four year olds. I drew out the K-4 on that paper the night before and handed it to him for his picture in the morning. As soon as Addison saw him with it, she ran in the kitchen and took a picture off the fridge to be like her bubs. When we dropped him off at school we were telling him bye bye and Addison stood next to Alex and said bye. She thought she was staying there with him. He wasn't nervous at all about it. He was like mom stop bugging me. I made it until I got in the car to cry. I thought maybe I'd be alright but of course I was wrong. Having kids makes you way too emotional!

When we picked him up, he couldn't wait to tell us all about his day! He just HAD to open his backpack when we got to the car to show me what was in it. Apparently wednesdays they have chapel so he was saying the singing was fun but everything else took a long time. They showed him the playground but he didn't get to play. A little cruel :) There were cool animal toys that he'll get to play with today. It was one of the girls birthdays so they had cupcakes and sang happy birthday. No wonder he had no appetite for lunch and was super hyper when he got home! He was super excited to go to school again this morning! So glad he's liking it so much!

He goes for a half day mon through fri. They have a different letter and number everyday that they learn. They have a different bible verse each week to memorize. The kids trade off days to bring a snack for the class. They bring the snack can home the night before so mommy can fill it with something and on that day they get to bring a show and tell item too. Alex is dying to take red john but I think that might be a little much for the kids. I think his mickey mouse ears from disneyland would be better.

I'm really excited for him and can't wait to see how this year goes and all he learns!

"Joy was so sure that you would cry."

Is Joy going to cry when Hannah goes to school?

"Word to your momma!"

What a cool idea Jenny, the pic of him with the K-4! Are you going to do that with every grade? That would be really neat. Man, he seems all grown up now! What a cutie. And ya, that is totally wrong teasing the kids with a sighting of the playground but not getting to play on it.

Lol! Ya, I got the idea from some friends of ours. Pretty cute!

Joy is totally going to cry!

Jenny -- these pictures are ADORABLE! He looks so proud sitting at his desk!

Also, Joy -- if you home school, you could cry for completely different reasons! ;-) I hear it can get pretty hard sometimes!
