A very long-awaited day finally came today in the life of my sweetest child.
To lose Dash every day sounds horrible, but if there is one boy who is anticipating school — he is the one!
So we made this day special!
Of course he had to pick out his outfit the night before — and we even laid it on top of him to see if it was going to be great.
Thumbs up from him!
He was up bright and early to get eat and get dressed alongside the other school-goers.
He was totally sad when they left and he had to still wait for his school to start.
But we passed the time wisely.
First, we made him a special “first day of school lunch bag”.
Then he spent quality time with the Pips (his every-day sidekick) singing nursery rhymes.
Check out his “round and round” from her favorite “The Wheels on the Bus”.
Then every boy going to school needs to be properly coiffed — so Nonnie worked her magic.
Look at my boy!
He was finally ready to go.
(Input mom tears.)
First day of school donuts!
It’s time!!!
It’s finally time!!!
He already knew that he loved Miss Dianne, but I think he fell in love all over again this morning.
(And then the Pips and I drove off — a little confused about what we were going to do next.)
After picking up the big kids from school (and waiting for Ka who really wanted to see Dash picked up from his first day at school) we headed over to get him.
Scout and Navy were totally excited to see their alma mater, and do the whole pick up thing for their little brother.
But before everything else, they ran in to give Miss Dianne a huge hug!
Then they grabbed Dash, and wanted to know every detail!
Then they explained how every day that they were there, they would let me wait in the car while they signed him out.
Dash had an amazing time, and showed off his very first project — his bumblebee!
And then it was time for sibling pictures.
And of course one pic of the lady who made my kids all love school from the very first moment.
Thank you Miss Dianne for being the biggest fans of my kids — and for loving them almost as much as I do!
