First Day of First Grade

Weston started his first day of first grade in Mrs. Taylor's class.  Because I have to be in my class for the first day of school to meet all my new kiddos I can never take Weston.  That means Daddy has first day duty and Jon does a pretty awesome job.  Here is a picture of him outside his class bulletin board.  Don't let the lack of smile fool you he was excited.

 

Daddy even did a good job at going in and getting a picture of him at his desk.  I didn't even tell him to do this.  His teacher was sweet enough to move his buddy, Nathan up to sit next to him.  Most of his kindergarten and soccer friends are in different classes.  Luckily he has made a lot of new friends.

 

 

He was most excited to have lunch at school and have more recesses. 

Weston is doing great with his reading and spelling so far!  Let's hope he has a successful first grade year.

When he grows up he wants to be a.....

First Day of Preschool

This beautiful boy started preschool in September 2012. I can't believe my baby is in preschool. A friend of mine is doing preschool with another friend for their kids and a few others. They were sweet enough to take Cason. I was nervous how he would do as he has never really been with anyone other then family but he did great. He had a really hard time with seperation anxiety when I went back to work and Weston was gone in the morning for school. But I think having school himself helped him. He has only gone 4 times so far. But he loves going to play with the other kids.  I am hopeful that he will learn all his letters, and shapes.  By this age Weston had those all down.  Cason is a very mechanical boy.  He loves how things work, he is very much like Jon.  Here is to a successful year of preschool.

Staring the journey that is school.....

Weston began his first day of school on September 4th, 2012.  Weston was scared about school starting since he has fallen in love with his teacher and being at school.  It was fun to take him school shopping.  He picked out a Utah Utes folder and backpack.  What can I say we taught him well.    Being a teacher I wasn't able to take him to his first day.  Jon was great and took the morning off so he could take him to school and attend his back to school morning.  He did really well at taking lots of pictures and notes.  They came in to see me before they headed down for the beginning of school.  Weston was getting so exxcited it was so fun to see.  The next day was his first real day of school.  At first his really struggled with writing his name.  But after a week or so his name is fully memorized and it looks really good.  He is still struggling with his colors.  Weston gets them right about 95% of the time.   He instantly fell in love with his teacher and had to take her a bracelet and a note within a few days.  Every morning he couldn't wait for the bell to ring so he could go to class.  I hope he continues to have such a big love of school.

Though he doesn't look excited he is excited to go into class.
