Matt's First Day of School

Matt started PreK-3 on Thursday. He is now going to St. Mary Magdalene in Humble. We are really excited about the new school and he seems to like it so far.

On Wednesday night we went to "Meet the Teacher". Thanks to my friend Nicole (whose blog is linked on this page) Matt had a nice gift for his teachers with a few little things they would need for the classroom. He was excited to give it to her. Mrs. Mary and Sister Mary will have the wonderful opportunity to teach Matt over the next year. It will be interesting to see if their hair grays as much as mine has in the last year.

Matt walked in to his new classroom that night like he had been there already and when his friend Nate (from the duo Nate & Edi - see talk about Edi in earlier blog) walked in his face just lit up! We are all very excited that Nate is in Matt's class. Nate went to school with Matt at Primrose so it's nice to have a friend join him in his new school (just so you know Nate is also the man that Marlie just might have to marry. He is SO handsome and has a sensitive side too. He's a Momma's boy for sure!). Matt didn't want to go home that night but we promised him he'd be back first thing in the morning.

Well after "meet the teacher" I had tons of homework!!! First on my list was to make lunch for the next 2 days because the hot lunches weren't going to be ready until next week. We had already bought Matt a Lightening McQueen lunch box for Marlie to give him for his birthday. So we had to do that a little earlier than planned. When we told him Marlie bought that for him he asked "Did Marlie drive to get it?" Okay so maybe he's not that smart after all. But he loved it and gave her a big hug and kiss.

So off he went on his first day. I have to admit this picture is not from the first day. I was so excited I forgot the camera. But this is his second day so hopefully that counts. Please note that he picks out his own clothes every day so there's only so much I can do!! He loves school so far and we are excited. I was so emotional that day both droping him off and picking him up. Why I don't know. But I guess this "school" is a real school with a bell in the morning that scared him and drop off and pick up times. A whole new ball game. Today is Saturday and he was sad that he couldn't go to school. So we're off to a great start!
