First Day of School

They couldn't wait!!

They are so so handsome!

What a not so excited face. J is definitely not my photogenic boy. He hates to smile, and likes to make weird faces he then calls smiles. He just had picture day at school and he came home to tell me - "they had to take tons of pictures of me". I asked if it was because he was so cute. To which he responded -"no, they couldn't get me to smile" he then showed me his smile. Oh I can't wait to see those pics. :)
S gets home 1 hour before J does. It was in this hour the other day that I was looking at him and we had this conversation:

Mom - S you are so cute.

S - I know.

Mom - What! How do you know?

S - Everyone tells me that.

Mom - Like who?

S- Like my primary teacher, and lots of other people.

I visit teach his primary teacher - so I had to text her this conversation. Maybe he's not my most humble kid. What a face!

Here is S sitting at his desk. Does he look ready to learn or what? The thing about S is he doesn't like me to be around him at school. It embarrasses him - therefore he puts on a super grumpy face when I am around. In Kindergarten I used to ask him to give me a kiss goodbye in the car. We would be parked right in front of the school, so he would tell me to pull the car forward if I wanted a kiss. That way no one would see him do it. :)
Here J is meeting his teacher, Mr. Munsee for the first time. I have heard so many excellent things about Mr. Munsee. I know it is going to be an amazing year for J! (I am probably more excited than him) J on the other hand is fine seeing me at school. He even used to give me hugs when I would work in his class in 1st grade. This year when I work in his class he doesn't hug me, but he will stay in from recess to be with me. Got to love that kid!
