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!

Congratulations on your first day of school Ashton. You are such a big boy and that Transformer shirt is about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Way to go dude!
We are so happy to hear that you had a great "first" day of school. Sorry Sarah... but the rest of the first days of school will be like that. You get a little misty eyed and think..."what has happened to my little child".
We love you too Ashton. Thank you for being such a great nephew and cousin. You have been such a blessing to our family and we ALL love you dearly!
Hey, Mr. Silly Pants!--I'm so proud of you for being such a big boy! Mrs. Morris is so lucky to have you in her class. I know that you will be a good helper and a good friend to the other kids in the class. Give Mommy, Daddy and Alvie a hug for me. We love you!
Oh Ashton is cute and brave. It is still way sad even though it is pre-school. Sara your mom is way cute her comment reminded me of my mom and made me homesick for her.
Good going, Ashton! I hope all of your school days go just as good. Give your mom a hug for me. I miss you.
My little Ava goes to Carole Morris too! She is in the 11:30 class M & Wednesdays. I will have to look for Ashton next time I am a mother-helper.
