We woke him up this morning about an hour before we had to leave (which is what we did last year and I was always nagging hi to hurry up and get ready). I think he was excited about his first day of 1st grade because he was speeding through his routine. He was completely ready to go to school about 25 minutes early!! That is a record for him!! ;-)
Since he was ready early, that gave me lots of time to take pictures. ;-) He choose to wear a new outfit that Grandma Terri gave him. He looked super handsome!
Of course, his sister had to give him a bye-bye hug. She LOVES her big brother!!
When it was time to leave we took a few pictures outside before climbing into the car. (Sorry for the bluriness, with the flash it was too dark and without the flash they are a little blurry.) My little man looks So grown up!!
Marc with his his biggest little fan!! :-)
Since the parent drive and drop off their kids at Chandler Woods. for the first month the kids meet their teacher and other classmates outside in an assigned spot. Marc waited patiently, trying not to blow away, for everyone to get there so they could go inside. When we asked Marc what he was most excited about doing in 1st grade his answer was 2 recesses and lunch. Silly boy! ;-)
Off he goes, into the school for his first day of 1st grade!!
The whole school gathers in the gym first thing on the first day of school to go over rules and such. Here is Marc walking into his 1st assembly of 1st grade!
We were a little worried about how he would do this morning after the tears last night, but he seemed to do great!! Samantha pouted all the way home about not having Marc next to her. Samantha has, all morning, asked every 20 minutes or so where Marc-y is. She is playing SO sweetly by herself!! Very cute! It seems a little eerily odd to have the house be so quiet.When I picked him up from school, we were stuck in our parking spot (lots of traffic) for about 20 minutes. He talked to me for the full 20 minutes!! I got to hear all about how excited he was to be in 1st grade and what he did today! :-)
When Daddy got home, we decided to let Marc choose where we went for dinner. He choose to go to Dam Dogs in downtown Rockford.
After we ate our Dam Dogs we went next door to Custard by the Dam for some ice cream for Dessert.
When we got home he was so excited (still!) about school that he called Grandma Terri to tell her all about his day.
I am SO glad he enjoyed his first day of school!! Since then he has been excited to go back to school each day this week. I am thrilled that we have a child that truly enjoys learning new things! :-)
