We're Full of "Firsts"

As a young family, it seems like every other day we're celebrating someone's "first." Whether it's a birthday, a tooth, or a word, it's just as exciting for us parents as it is for the kids.

So imagine how Randy and I felt when we realized that we'd forgotten to bring a camera to S's first day of preschool. My first thought was that we would've never forgotten the camera for G's first day of preschool and that poor S was already feeling the unfortunate effects of being second born. But I was being a little hard on myself. I forget the camera all the time. And we made a pledge to ourselves to bring the camera when we came to pick up the little guy and take lots of pictures then.

Needless to say, S had a blast at preschool, or as he likes to call it "prayer school." (He came up with that name himself and while I don't perpetuate its use, I also don't correct him. It's cute. He'll grow up and stop using incorrect names all too quickly. The day he stopped calling his "bottom" his "bob-um" was a sad day for me.)

S is in a class full of boys. I believe there are 10 boys out of 12 students. This suits S perfectly. It means that everyone is busy, everyone is jumping, everyone is in perpetual motion. He fits right in and he's going to a have a great year.

Without further ado, here's our little man on his first day of preschool:

Look! He's not the only child who couldn't stay seated for all of circle time!

Happy to be at school, but also happy to see his Mama and Daddy afterwards.

He was so excited about his backpack!

This picture shows just how tall this guy is now.

His smile is the sweetest.

And with one kid in kindergarten and one in preschool, what's a Mama and Daddy to do?

Love on this little guy, of course!
