First day of school x 2

Our boys were excited to start school!
Josh modeled his new outfit and shoes for the first day of Kindergarten.

We had an orientation the day before and he was feeling ready. He liked his classroom, playground, and teacher.

The whole family was able to drop Josh off on his first day.

Right before it was time for the parents to go, Josh started to get a little nervous. With some words of encouragement (and maybe a reminder of the McDonald's lunch afterward) he had a smile on his face. He waved goodbye and officially commenced his school career.

To celebrate, after school we went to McDonald's for some lunch.
The man at the counter let Josh have his choice of the Happy Meal toys.
That might have been the highlight of his day.

While Parker didn't start on the same day, he still had to model and wear his backpack to the elementary school.

They insisted on a few poses too...

and there was some dancing involved.

Then finally, it was Parker's turn for his first day. He was excited!
(and had misplaced his glasses)

We got to preschool and waited for dad to meet us. Parker was so excited I could barely keep him in the car.

I asked Parker if I could get a picture of him before he headed in.
He ran right up to the door, posed and then knew right where to go. He's been waiting a long time to go to preschool like his big brother Josh.

The night before preschool Josh gave Parker all the tips on the best toys, some of the rules, and his favorites. It was really cute to hear the two of them talk. Parker listened to him too, then gave him a report when he got home from school.

I love these boys. They bring so much joy to us!
