JACK'S BIG ADVENTURE: 1st Day of Pre-School, Part I
No, that's not a typo. And no, you are not hallucinating the word pre-schooler. Our little Jack woke up this morning as a full-fledged-you've-got-to-be-kidding-me-seriously-when-did-this-happen? pre-schooler.
And I am happy to report that, despite my emotional fragility and propensity for crying at the drop of a hat on this momentous day, the Momarazzi was out in full-force. In fact, as you can see above, I even woke the little booger up with the camera flash. I am so dedicated to my job and to you, my people.
So, back to this pre-school business. Yes. Phillip and I went in to wake Jack up this morning and told him that today was a BIG day because it was the first day of school. He immediately said "School!" and clapped his hands. (Thank you, Elmo, for teaching us that school is fun!) We told him that he was going to get to check out his classroom today, meet his teacher and make some new friends. To which he excitedly replied, "Teacher! Friends!" Then, with no prompting, he said, "HAPPY!" and clapped. That's what you are seeing in the photo above. Love that bedhead!After all of that, we had our favorite breakfast of chocolate chip muffins and a nice tall glass of apple juice. Mmmmm, good.
After breakfast, we headed off to get dressed, brush teeth and tame that beautiful mop of hair. I stood back and looked at him for a moment, revelling in the precious little boy that he is. I wondered if he had any idea how much he is loved and by how many people. And how many more new people would get to start loving him today. I was so proud, as I always am, to be his Mommy. Proud of the little person that he is. Proud of who he is and who he will become. And then he looked up at me and smiled. This smile:
And in that moment, I knew that he knew.
Someone scoop me up off the floor, please.
If you can believe it, our day only got better from here, and I have many photos to share and much to write about. So, check back soon for Part 2!

Yea! School! Happy!
Oh how sweet!! I cannot believe he's that big. A big boy!!!
Can't wait to see more. :)
Wow! Jack is a cutie, and such a big boy to be starting pre-school! Did you say he and Hayden shared a birthday (April 29th)? The past 4 months have flown with Hayden, and I'm sure time will fly and he'll be starting school before we know it. It's crazy how quickly they grow! I've enjoyed checking out your blog. Jack is adorable!
