Maddox The Pre-Schooler

Maddox and Gavin were both up bright and early again today. Thank goodness for early bedtimes during the school year. I had forgotten how much extra time that gives me to get stuff done (in other words...check email, post on my blog, etc.)

Gavin's giving the old thumbs up and Maddox must be #1, I'm not sure.
Maddox and his Diego backpack (Some of you might be interested in knowing that Gavin has already used it for 2 years.) It's the inner tightwaud coming out in me...I knew it was in there somewhere. Maddox shaking his booty one last time before we head off to school. He threw that one in there. He must know it makes me smile every time. I love his booty shakes.
Gavin wanted a picture in front of this black-eyed susan. He's quite the gardener. Plus he wanted a picture of his drum shirt. He's quite the little drummer these days.
Maddox wanted to play on the playground before school. He talked me into letting him go down one slide. Maddox with his "friends".
Maddox and Miss Jamie, his teacher. This is her first year at St. Joe as well.
I'm home alone and it is sooo quiet. Maddox is staying at school for lunch today. I let him decide if he wanted to or not. You know, all 3 year olds should have the opportunity to make their own decisions. He first asked if Gavin was staying for lunch today and said he wanted to eat with Gavin. He will see Gavin for a little while at least. That will be good for them both.

Maddox's first day has gone well so far. I assumed it would though. He's been ready for pre-school since last year when he always wanted to stay with Gavin. I had to pry him out of the room each and every day.
