First Day of School

So, not only is today his birthday, it was also the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

Carter and his wonderful teacher, Miss Riki

Carter told me he had a great day in preschool.  He liked playing with the train table and it was a huge confidence boost that he knew today was Wednesday, August 22nd {hmm, I wonder why?}  He made friends with the boy with the Nike's and the boy with the green shoes.  We are going to work on getting names on Friday.

Carter wore his new lace-up shoes today.  While I really, really, really didn't want to switch from velcro I know at age 5 he should begin working on tying his shoes.  

Lord of the tantrums strikes again!

Carter did great when I dropped him off, but Dawson threw a huge tantrum.  He did not want to leave DARTER!  DARTER!  DARTER!  Add in kicking, screaming and pushing and you got the entire story.  I just tried whispering in his ear "It's ok, Carter's going to school, we'll be back to get him soon."

He still wanted nothing to do with leaving his brother and tantrumed all the way home.  Even at home, he would stop playing look at me and say "Darter?"  Sweet, but still not cool at all.
