OMG-Loose Teeth!

"Once I had a little tooth
That wobbled every day;
When I ate and when I talked,
It wiggled every way."
John Thomas' bottom middle teeth are loose. I can't believe he's close to losing a tooth (or teeth). He's so excited!! Better start sweet talking the tooth fairy!

Birthday Party

John Thomas and Bryson were invited to a birthday party today at the Little Gym. Those are just the best parties! The boys always have so much fun.

A Good Title Escapes Me...

This is how I found John Thomas a few minutes ago...
Half naked, in the kitchen, in his laundry bad, playing his DS.

Taken after dinner-ewww all that food in his teeth.

Bryson's 3K Open House

How cute it was to see Bryson running around showing us all of the fun things in his classroom. He has an adorable class and the teachers are so sweet. They have named him the "bugman" since he always seems to find grasshoppers, caterpillars, millipedes, rollie polies, etc... and bring them to the teachers.

His chair and goody bag
So excited to get a prize
His duty for the week is to hold the American Flag while the class recites it.
His birthday turtle
He was jumping around like a crazy man with those kids behind him. So cute!
So cute!

School Day 2

Mrs. Patterson sent home a sweet picture of John Thomas today. I *think* she took this before class started because he's not at his right seat and he's coloring in his book from home which he can do while they wait for the bell to ring. So sweet. I'm liking his teacher more and more everyday.
He still didn't walk in alone this morning. I'm going to take him over the weekend to practice. Hopefully Monday will go well.
Excuse the pic quality, it's a scan of a pic printed on cardstock...

Pizza Making 101

The boys made their own pizza's tonight for supper... I think that they could have nice high school careers working at Papa John's!
Look at the precision
Bryson's technique was to put the pepperoni's first.
Cheese time!
Ready for the oven

First Day of Kindergarten

Well today is the day! John Thomas started Kindergarten today! He was awake before me this morning which I know meant that he was excited!
This was last night, his last night of being a preschooler.
And because Bryson is so cute :)
Last night before he went to bed, we had to fill out his info sheet. Mrs. Patterson names one kid the "VIP" for the day for the first few weeks of school and the other kids learn all about the VIP. I asked John Thomas the questions and wrote down his answers.
Anyone care to guess what an Alarm Fixer is?
Yes he said his favorite food was salad. Kid loves salad.
So sweet.
Having his favorite breakfast, little pancakes
Ha, Bryson's impression of a deer in the headlights.
Dressed and ready for school
The typical first day of school picture :)
Mooommmmyyyy... Enough already.
It's Bryson's first day of K3

Fitting right in
Bryson wanted to stay too.

All in all the morning went well. He walked right in, put his stick in his lunch cup (I was happy he remembered to do that) and went straight to his cubby. He seemed very excited. I cried (a lot) and John Thomas got a little nervous when the bell rang and didn't want us to leave. He didn't cry or chase us out of the room so i'm calling the day a success! I'm sure he's having a blast.
