JJ's first day

2014 marks the year that JJ starts school full time in young 5's and Reese starts 3yr old preschool. How excited both of them were. The night before JJ's big first day he decided to lay out his clothes like Uncle Steve used to do before school. He picked out the clothes all by himself and was very proud of the "man" that he had created. 
He was so excited in fact that as I left him in his room to get ready for bed, he came back out wearing his school clothes. When I asked him why he was wearing his school clothes he responded that he wanted to be ready for tomorrow. I love his eagerness and hope that it never changes. The next day he was ready to see Mrs. VanderArk.  He had met her the weekend before at open house. James had drawn a picture for Mrs. VanderArk to give to her. It was a picture of him and her. 
However, he was a bit shy that day, but she liked it all the same. 
 Daddy took a picture of James as he was ready for the first day. 
He had a great first day (1 hr 1/2) and told me all about it when I got home.  9-3-2014
