First Days of School

My goal was to use this blog as a digital scrapbook for the boys and a way to keep our families up to date on pictures. I haven't blogged in a few months and I have total guilt. Poor Bodie...I have a lot of catching up to do. We had a pretty amazing summer, lots of trips, time spent with family, we moved, new state, new house, new schools for the boys, all kinds of stuff. Not knowing where to even begin I thought I'd start with the boys' first days of school.  Here we go....back on the blogging wagon!!!!

   Jack started 1st grade at Roye-Williams Elementary. He gets to ride the bus everyday and loves his teacher. (I do too). He's 1 month in and seems to be doing great!

 

Tom was in Afghanistan for Jack's first day of kindergarten last year. This year he was able to be home for Jack's first day of first grade which was awesome! But in keeping everything square, like the Army does, he's at ILE for the next few months and missed Ty's first day of pre-school. If anything, we're consistent, right? :-) 

 So here's Ty on his first day of Preschool. He's attending Grace United Methodist three days a week. It's a cooperative school so the parents volunteer once every 5 weeks as a teacher's helper. I'm pretty excited about it. Since we moved here way after signups someone dropped out and there was one opening left for the morning class and we got it! Yeah! I love when things work out and I couldn't be happier. His teacher, Ms. Courtney is amazing and Ty is loving his school. Favorite thing: show and tell every Friday. I can't believe how big he's getting!!!

Bo had a first day too, it was his first day of being the big guy on campus, no brothers to boss him around, just him. As exciting as this big day of firsts was, Bo didn't enjoy it as much as Ty. Poor kid was NOT ok with leaving without him. We walked into Ty's room, signed him in and as we were leaving Bo started crying for Ty. He walked to the car with tears flowing, screaming...."No leave Ty school". We took a detour to Target and a quick walk through the toy aisles calmed him right down. It took 2 weeks of dropping Ty off for Bo to be ok with leaving Ty behind. He's so sweet!
