Luke's First Day of School

Luke started preschool last week, and he LOVED it! We have been talking about starting school for months, so he was very pumped to get things started. We did have a meltdown though. Wait, a meltdown? Why would a kid who LOVED it have a meltdown? Well...this child threw a terrible fit as we were leaving for the day. He was screaming at the top of his lungs, "STAY!" Luckily my mom was with me, and was able to wrangle him to the car. I say wrangle, because he was full on arching his back and kicking a screaming. Not pretty, and very embarrassing. He was very upset with his Tula once we got in the car and said, "Tula, get out of the car now!". Yes, as sweet as this boy is, he does have his moments. Once we got home and he calmed down, he ran over to his Tula to give her a big ole hug! He can't stay mad long. We figured out that he was just upset that he was not going to get to go back. He went again on Monday, and things went very smoothly. His teachers say he has "a lot of personality", and he was going through the hall shaking teachers hands saying "nice to meet you". (Something his Noni taught him). They were all very impressed. =) Here are some pictures from the first day. hmmm...Mommy and Daddy look a little tired in the first picture, compliments of Audrey. =)

Putting away his nap mat, backpack, and lunchbox at his cubby.

Ernie has been enjoying the nap mat at home as well. Yes, he did this on his own.

I can't wait to see how the year goes.
