I still cannot believe my baby Gus is old enough to be in KINDERGARTEN!!! It's neat having him under the same roof as me though! He's talked about Kindergarten all summer! I hope he stays that excited all year!!
Since Gus would not be going to Mrs. Nina's this year with Bo, we decided to send Bo to preschool at Kirby. He's not as sure about the whole school thing though. Hopefully he will adjust quickly!!
Headed to Open House!!
I don't know if Head Start is ready for this one or not!!
He wanted his hair spiked!!
Gus found his name tag on the table!
Gus will all of his school supplies!
Gus' teacher Mrs. Sherry giving him and Bodee stickers!
Gus' hook for his backpack and name tag for the first few days of school!
They thought the big bear in the library was pretty cool!
Although Bo's Open House was earlier that day,
he still needed to wear his back pack to this one!
The library bulletin board!
Gus thought it was cool his was the first name!
GUS TOLLESON
Gus snapped a picture of me at the high school Open House!
Some girls had a table set up with punch and cookies...between Gus and Bo
I think they drank and ate most of it! By the time this picture was taken
Bodee had done went back home with Daddy!
The night before preschool!!!
Of course Blackie had to have his picture taken, too!
My baby boy!
Ok enough pictures, Mom. I'm gonna watch my movie.
Last night before becoming an official school boy!
My babies...
Yes, they usually end up in our bed sometime during the night!
Bo is easier to get up than Gus.
LOL...this is what he thinks about mornings!!
I totally understand!!
Ready Freddies!!
The 1st Day - August 20, 2012
Gus, Buzz and Woody
Gus - Kindergarten
Mommy and Gus
Bo - Preschool
Bo missed the memo about showing his backpack!
Ready for Day 1!!!!
August 21 - Day 2
His first lunch:
Turkey sandwich
Chips
Grapes
Cookies
Dr. Pepper
Gus' 1st Homework Assignment:
Doggie Bag
They had to put 5 of their favorite things inside to tell their classmates more about them.
Gus chose:
a picture of him and Bodee playing t-ball
a Butterfinger wrapper
a firetruck train
a Lightening McQueen book
his Titanic souvenier
(I asked him today if they showed these because it was back in his backpack.
He said yes and told me what all he said about each thing.
He skipped the Butterfinger wrapper, and I asked what he said about that.
He said, "Oh. I thought that was trash."
Sweet boy!
The front of the bag.
Gus and Barry colored the dog. Then Gus added his name and stickers.
The back of the bag.
Mrs. Sherry gave him a smiley face for a good job!
Gus and I dropped Bo off at Head Start at 7:34. He acted very shy but never cried. When we walked out Gus so worried about him asking me questions all the way to his classroom. He said he didn't know if we should leave him down there or not! Sweet brother.
Gus' reaction to his first day was, "I already knew everything." LOL.
They toured the school so I guess he meant he had already seen it!
He was very excited about music class. He said they're gonna get to play instruments
and today they sang E-I-E-I-O!
Unfortunately, the rest of Bo's day wasn't spent tear-free. He cried at different times throughout the day. When me and Gus walked in to pick him up after school, he yelled, "GUS!!" and threw his arms around him!! So sweet! Bo's 2nd day of preschool was awful. Well the drop off part anyway. He knew what was coming. Gus tried his best to help out offering Bo to help put his backpack away and assuring him we would be back soon. When we finally walked outside, I looked at Gus to find him crying. He said, "He never cried when I was with him at Mrs. Nina's." It broke my heart. Another day of this, and back to Mrs. Nina's Bo goes!! I called his teacher at 8:15 and he was eating breakfast! Later, Mrs. Heather told me he didn't cry the rest of the day and only puckered up at nap time. Nothing Blankey and Patty couldn't fix though! So glad they're allowed to bring things like that from home!! Gus enjoyed his 2nd day of Kindergarten. He wasn't in any kind of a mood to talk about it though. All he said was they did nothing. :)
I had a doctor's appointment so Granny picked them up. She asked who their best friend's were at school. Gus said Montana and Bo said the boy in the green shirt!
Come to find out, that boy was Logan Miller!
Day 3 - Drop off for Bo went better. He cried a little but nothing like yesterday! Mrs. Kristie told me that they had circle time today and she asked each of them what their favorite thing was and who their best friend was. Bo's favorite thing is the gas pump on the playground and his best friend is "that boy". He had to get up and point to him because he didn't know his name! Sure enough he pointed to Logan! Mrs. Kristie said at recess Logan would ride a lap on the tricycle and Bo would wait in the shade, then they switched. She tried to get them to each get a tricycle but they said they liked to share!! Sooooo glad he's making friends and having fun!!
I walked Gus to his room. I could tell he was much more comfortable with everything. He hung his back pack up, put his lunch box on the table and went to play with a couple more kids.
His lunch is during my prep period so I go sit with him for a little bit. It's so weird seeing him in there! He took a bologna sandwich today and when I walked in he had chipmunk cheeks and said, "Look, Mom, I ate all of my sandwich today!" Of course it was a little muffled because about half of the sandwich was still in his mouth!
I now know why we usually start school on a Wed or Thurs.
Getting adjusted to all this is exhausting!! So ready for the weekend!!
