First Day of School

Last Tuesday (I know, I know) was Ben's first day back to school. This is his second year in the same preschool class, and so far he is doing well. 5 of the 6 kids were from last year, so Ben started out knowing the kids, as well as the teachers. He went willingly onto the suburban, and had a great first day, switcheroo and all! We are so proud of Ben, and know that he will work hard this year to get ready for kindergarten.Here is the first day of school outfit- I love Ben in orange and blue!
Grace was very sad to see her brother go, as they had gotten very close over the summer. She waited all morning for him to come home, and when he did he was so crabby that she wished his day would have been a little longer. The second day she was not quite as anxious for his return. However, after the first day or so of being very crabby and tired, Ben and Grace seem to play better after that small time apart each day.
Waiting for the suburban, with a mixture of excitement and apprehension!


Happy first day of school, Ben! We love you!!!!!!!!

So sweet. He looks like such a big kids. I love the "smirk" smile in the last picture. Ahhh, siblings. You love 'em and you hate 'em. Such fun!

Yay for Ben! This year sounds like it's already off to a great start, helping him get ready for the big K. Good job Ben! Glad he survived the ole' switcharoo. Miss him.
