The official start of school began today with great anticipation last night! Luke went to sleep right on time but Nolan just couldn't get to sleep. I guess the anticipation of 1st grade was just too much. At 10pm I bid him my final good night. This morning both boys got dressed, ate their pop tarts and did their obligatory 1st day of school picture poses. As you can see, Luke's beloved "chicken" was available for pictures this morning as well. 1st day of school is such a terrible rush! Before we even had time to video tape the event we were walking into Nolan's elementary school and back out again in what felt like 2 minutes flat. Kids and parents were everywhere! This year Nolan looked a bit more apprehensive than I remember him looking last year in Kindergarten.
Next stop, Primrose! Luke is officially a "big kid" and now he attends Pre-K in a new classroom. This year Luke will wear his official Primrose uniform and rejoin some friends from last year's preschool classroom. His teachers are Ms. Babe and Ms. Garcia. We know Ms. Garcia from Nolan's Pre-K school year and she's soooo excited to have another "Wilson boy" back in class with her. Both teachers are young and hip so I think he'll have a great year too!
As for me, no tears (who has time, anway?!) Just lots of pride knowing that they are happy and well adjusted little boys happy to be in a learning environment. Last year and this year I took off work for their 1st day of school and I think I am going to make this my new tradition. I like being able to take my time with them in the morning and I enjoy every moment of it.
