Me Too Me Too







I put this little backpack on Alvie yesterday. I thought he'd get irritated and want it off. He actually wore it around for an hour and seemed quite proud of himself. It was the cutest thing ever! I think he longs to be like Ashton and go to school. Sorry Alvie you have a few more years to go! What a cutie!

First Day Jitters?


Today was Ashtons first "official" day of pre-school! We actually went last Thursday for a small orientation with the teacher. All last night and this morning he kept saying: "your going to be there with me right?" He was a little nervous to go it alone. At 8:50 we pulled up the circle drive, I walked him to the door, and in a very BRAVE big boy tone he says: "bye Mom I'll be fine." Crisis averted! I was soooo PROUD and a little misty watching my sweet boy walk through that door! Two and a half hours later me and Alvie went to pick him up. He had a BIG SMILE on his face as he walked to the car. His teacher Mrs. Morris said he did great! He learned about the letter L, had recess, sang the "clean up" song, and learned about flags from all the "towns"(he meant countries). He made a lovely American flag that we will proudly display! We are so proud of what a big boy Ashton is becoming. He is such a good example to his little brother. I really like his teacher and her "style" she seems very smart and practical, and has been doing this for 20+ years. I know this was a small step in Ashtons life but important all the same! WE LOVE YOU ASHTON! Grandma Linda sewed Ashton his Transformer shirt and bought him his awesome Transformer backpack to go with it. He was the envy of every boy in his class I'm sure! Thank you Grandma!
