First Day!

I am soooo behind on my blog but thought I better get some pics posted of Jaxon's first day of Kindergarten! Can't believe he is in school full time, but it has been a week now so I suppose I better let it sink in.

The first day went exceptionally well, as has every day since then! He was definitely ready to start this adventure in life! Gramma Debbie came down for the day to watch the other kids so Daddy and I could get Jax off to school. We walked in with him, stayed for about 5 minutes, and then took off. He was so busy unloading his backpack, he didn't realize we left. Not a tear was shed from any of us...surprisingly. I think I got most of my crying out in the weeks that led up to school starting! Anyhow....Grams and I spent the morning making a school bus cake to celebrate the big occasion. We also ran downtown for a balloon bouquet. After picking Jax up, we had a party, complete with candles on the cake and singing "Happy First Day of School to You!" at Jaxon's request! I believe every little kid deserves a cake with candles more than once a year!

We are now into a great routine! Jax enjoys getting up in the morning, picking out his clothes and getting ready about 30 minutes earlier than needed. I am wondering if he really belongs to me!?!? :-) Actually, I am becoming quite the morning person, thanks to my happy early risers!

I will add that I think the one that took Jax going to school the hardest was the little brother. He misses "Toe" so bad during the day. Cries when we leave him at school in the morning, and then runs, with open arms, to Toe the minute he comes out the front door of the school. It pretty much turns this mama to mush. I am glad my little guys still think the world of each other! ;-)






Okay, I tried several times to upload pictures of the cake...wouldn't work so check back later!
