School Days

First of all please forgive us for the pictures.  Abram was in too big of a hurry at every stage for us to get the perfect picture.  We think you can get the idea though.  We have also made them small for space and loading sake.  If you want to see a picture bigger, just click on it.

Abram started school today.  He is going on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the morning.  It is going to give him a great chance to be around other kids his own age, as well as learning some stuff that only another voice (besides Mommy's and Daddy's) can teach.  Here is what we could catch of the day.

First of all Katie was not happy that she didn't get to go as well.  As you can see, she had on her backpack and everything ready to head out the door with her big brother whom she adores.

After Mommy just closed her ears and ran out the door with only one child (the other one was screaming...thanks Grammy for the distraction), Abram got strapped in ready to "go see my friends at my school."   We have had lots of discussions about him going to his school, not Mommy's school or Daddy's school but Abram's school.  He is not asleep, just has his eyes closed because of the camera flash.

We walked into Abram's classroom, he dropped his backpack, turned his back to his teacher...Mrs. Marlowe, said "my nametag," and took off running leaving Mommy in the dust.  Each of the kids has to wear a nametag with their name and a special color to help them get into the right classroom, he was very proud of that nametag.

He headed straight to the sensory table to check out what was inside.  Today it was acorns.  He and his friend played with the acorns. 

 

Daddy got to pick Abram up after his first day and much like the beginning of the day, he saw what he wanted and took off.  He saw his Daddy, yelled "my Daddy" and took off for the car.  

 

After getting picked up Abram and Daddy stopped at the local bakery for a special doughnut snack and then home to see Katie and Grammy.

Perhaps the best part of the day was not caught on camera, when Abram walked in the door at "my house", he was attacked by his adoring fan club (AKA Katie) who tackled him with a giant bear hug.   Which he quickly returned as if he hadn't seen her for days and days.  This lasted just long enough for everyone to look at and go awwweeee, before it turned into a crash to the floor and the sweet spell was broken and they were back to wrestling and fighting over toys.

And after a long day's work, a little Backyardigans and a good backrest bring the day to a happy close,

 

 

 With some special friends to share excitement with.
