First Week of School

Gaines and Will both were super excited this week to start school. Will stood and got his picture taken so proudly! Gaines has Ms. Heather and 12 kids in his class actually 10 boys and 2 girls. She has done an incredible job with her classroom which makes it hard to drag Will out to go to his classroom. Will keeps  saying when he is 4 he will be in Gaines and Chase's class. Ms. Cassie is Will's teacher and she seems fabulous as well. Will knows all 8 in his class and plays well with all them. Will goes Thursday and Thursday and Gaines goes Tuesday,Wednesday, and Thursday which is new for his Pre-K year. 

Favorites from their first day:
Gaines said there was a Diego Animal Science Book that talked about different animals and that was favorite. Also this game he made up for his crew to play on the playground.

Will said he played power rangers on the playground and told me He was red, Gavin was black, Carter was blue, and Hallee and Lily were pink. I asked if they knew they were playing?!? He also said his favorite was trucks. 

My favorite was Ms. Cassie posted pics on Facebook of their first day. Loved seeing what all they were up to!

We went to Chic-fil-a with Lily and Ms.Betsy after school for ice cream and to play. They are exhausted!

Wednesday Will and I took Gaines to school and I have to admit just adding this extra day is really making me sad. He is just getting so big and soon I will not have any of this time with him. I texted this to Garrick and he wrote back "I know I will be a mess when we take him to Kindergarden!"

Will and I picked up Gaines from school on Wednesday and Ms. Heather was talking to the parents. She was saying to be patient over the next couple of weeks because all of her 12 students were on different levels some had never been in school or Mother's Day Out before and others have been in for 3 years and it would just take a little time to figure out what each student needs. Then she said, "And Gaines asked to day Ms. Heather when are we going to learn something REAL?" in regards to working on straight lines. Ha! My question for Ms. Heather is did he do his straight lines?    

Gaines told Ms. Heather he was a Police Officer and a law maker. Ms. Heather explained that Police officers don't make laws they enforce them and she said his eyes got so big taking in every word of it.

Gaines asked me after school when Spring Break was and I said not for a long time. He sighed and asked if he was going to be in school forever? I think it is interfering with his play time and he is just realizing this.

First Day
Will was posing like crazy and so excited. Gaines was being difficult.

End of first week
Love how Will is always the one with his arm around Gaines. Gaines and I went round and round over this outfit. He did not want to wear this fisherman's shirt it is for summer vacation not school. 

Will and Gavin working on their bird feeders. Love the concentration going on here.
