The first day of school came much faster than I ever expected. I thought the summer would be so long with having a newborn and the boys home all the time, but it flew by. I now have a Pre-K boy and a Tiny Two’s boy! Wow!
Picture with Daddy before he left for work!
And with Mami!
Note from Mami for his lunch box. This was the first time he had lunch at school and he was so excited!
His lunch in his new lunch box. I LOVE this lunch box for him so far. It’s the perfect size for a kids lunch, he can open it easily and everything is in one place and one REUSABLE container! His sandwich goes in the top.
All ready to go!
VPK – here comes Sebastian with a shark face!!!
Matteo was pretty excited. Especially about his lunch box with his snack in it. =)
Outside his classroom, just like last year!
Bye, Mami! No butterflies here!
Here is last year’s first day of school post if you want to see how much he’s grown!
Matteo’s first day was really just a big play date for the kids and parents to explore the classroom together. It was a lot of fun! Matteo walked right in and started playing on his own, so I just sat down at the little table. He did not come back to look for me for 30 minutes! He was having a great time.
Since he had so much fun, interacted super well with the teachers and didn’t even look for me I hoped it would be a smooth transition for when I left him the following Monday. He only goes 2 times a week for 3 hours, but he’s never done anything like this so I was still a little unsure!
You can see here how thrilled he was!!!
Sebastian also had a great first day. I think he liked the excitement because for the entire week he kept asking if it was the first day of school again.
Kisses from Daddy on his real first day of school. Still very excited…
Big boy!
I think the uncertainty started as we walked in…
He loves his backpack!
So, it was a rough first drop off. Even though he was prepped, I think he really thought he was going to get to stay with his big brother at school and that’s when he got upset. Then he didn’t want to part with his lunch box because he wanted to eat his snack NOW. I stayed and spied for about an hour and he wasn’t crying but didn’t look happy either. =( In the end, now about 6 weeks later as I write this, all is good and I think he is really enjoying school.
Here’s his account of his first day. I think he was most excited about the new toy I bought him!
His “good job on the first day of school” treat.
We are off and running on a new school year!
