Alex Goes to School

Tuesday was Alex's first day at the New England Montessori School. He was very brave and excited for the first little bit. By the time we left the house he was very sadly saying "I don't want to go to school, I want to stay with Mommy". It was very hard and there were tears, kicking and screaming. But the teachers were great and said he was fine shortly after we left.



Here is daddy showing him around his new classroom. Those binoculars ended up being his favorite and actually caused issues when he was cleaning up. Basically he didn't want to leave without them. So we left him crying and picked him up crying. I felt horrible.


But within 5 minutes of starting our drive home he was giggling and laughing, telling me all about his day. Wednesday after play group he was begging to go to school again.


Today, he was ready to go and excited. When I dropped him off he said once that he didn't want me to leave but then he was gone. I did squeeze out a kiss.


Here is an early morning shot of the boys waking up daddy. He kind of fell asleep grading on the couch so when the boys were up at 5am, (which is becoming normal, ack) they were excited to help wake daddy up too.
