Carter's First Day of Pre-K

Yesterday Carter started pre-k! He switched schools this year, so we have anxiously been awaiting his first day at his new school with his new teachers and new friends. He met his teacher beforehand, and we've been going to the church where the school is for several months, so he was pretty comfortable with his new surroundings, and I felt confident he'd do great. When I dropped him off, he really didn't seem too nervous about it, mostly just excited!

Here are a few pictures I snapped before heading out for his first day of pre-k!

So big, so handsome!

 And a few with baby sis, who was very excited for her brother, too!

 (I think she's secretly just happy he'll be out of her face for most of the day, 3 days a week!)

 

I figured he'd have a great first day, and he did! Today, he got a little teary eyed when it was time for me to say goodbye at the door, but his teachers assured me he got over that pretty quickly and ended up having another great day! Also, a sweet friend that lives very close by is going to school the same days, so we've decided to carpool! Carter is excited to get to ride with Carson two days a week! This morning was my turn, and it was quite a process. Since we don't have a carpool line, that means getting out and walking everyone (including Ella) inside, checking them in, and getting them and their bags to the right place. Lots going on.... 3 seatbelts to buckle and unbuckle, bags to carry and just wrangling of children in general. BUT, tomorrow is Lindsay's turn, and I'll happily be sitting at home most likely enjoying a cup of coffee while he's off to school. :) 

Lots of loudness and giggles in the car today, that's for sure!

 
Fingers crossed that tomorrow goes well to finish off a great first week! We are so impressed with his new school so far, and are looking forward to a wonderful year! The very last one before kindergarten. ;(
