First Day of School

Ben is my big First Grader. He started last Monday, and was so excited for the first day of school. I can hardly believe he is be enough, but he keeps telling me he is. I had a harder time sending him to 1st Grade then I did Kindergarten. It seems like he is gone for along time. I have noticed though that my house is not as rowdy when he is home, because all day school is wearing him out.
Today was Alec's first day of Preschool. He has been ready since last year when Ben got to ride the bus, and was so excited this morning. He was ready before Ben this morning, and has gotten over the fact that the bus doesn't not give rides to preschoolers. I thought he might have a hard time telling me good bye at the door, but he hardly even noticed I was there, and was immediately into his little project. It is going to be a good year for him.
Here is little Ty. He like Ben is #1. Today he is following me around the house wondering what to do without his brothers. He is getting big though and this past week we have been potty training. I promised him we could go buy big boy pants when Ben went to school, and he did not let me forget. So last Tuesday we started the process, and by Sunday he pretty much had it figured out. And today exactly one week later he is trained day and night, and he is my first child to actually tell me when he as to go. I know this may all back fire in a couple of days, but I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Yippee for being potty trained! Go Ty!

Last year was a huge adjustment for me having Cole gone all day. The first week is a big adjustment for everyone, but then it is really nice. One awesome thing... they lay their head on the pillow at night and are totally out quick! :)

I just love your boys. They are so handsome. How exciting to get to go to school! I bet Ty misses them at home though. Way to go on the potty training!

They look so big! I had a much harder time sending Ella to school this year then last year also. I really didn't want her to go. She wouldn't hear of it though. She kept saying- "Mom, it's first grade. I have to go." I guess I couldn't argue with that. Miss you guys!
