School Time Has Arrived!

Ok....I've reached a sad milestone day.  I sent my 4 yr old off to preschool today.  He was SOOOOO excited and could not quit talking once we got there.  (Poor teacher!) We went to his room, hung up his back pack, and then he went to the table.  Noah had to hang up his back pack too.  I snuck it back to the car.  That's the point when little brother realized that Nathan was staying and he was not.  He cried from Nathan's classroom all the way to the car and out onto the highway.  I finally got him to hear me say that we would be going for ice cream.  That helped.....a LOT.  We had a mommy and Noah date at Culvers.  All seemed better until we got home.  I started to get out of the car when he began asking where brother is.  He teared up a little and we made a hasty entrance into the house.  All Nathan said when I left was...."Bye Mom".  He was truly upset to see me leave...not.  He was already busy with his school work at the table and I was not needed at that point.  I'm glad he is so independent, but a little frown or tear would be nice occassionally.  Nah!  I'm glad he can stand on his own.  I hope Noah can adjust.  Daddy will be taking him from now on when he goes back to work from lunch.  Hopefully that will save on Noah's freaking out.
Nathan looked so sweet with his little back pack.  Thanks to my Mom, they both have one just alike. 
I'm waiting to see how his day went.  It will be rushed because we have church tonight, but I can't wait to hear about his afternoon.


Waiting for them to unlock the door.




Noah doesn't leave Nathan's side very often.




Cheese!  (He always turns his head when I snap a picture.)





Noah playing with buttercups.....waiting.



We're finally here!!

Already getting to work.

He's loving the ice cream!




Can I get a bigger spoon?




He fell asleep holding his puppies......feeling kinda lonely, I think.
