Bluegrass babies: First Day of School

Owen started his second, first day of 2 year old preschool this week. He is returning to the same classroom because of his birthdate. The cutoff date for kindergarten is October 1st so we agreed when signing him up last year that he would repeat a year of preschool at some point. So this was the year. I am a little sad that he is not moving up with his friends from class last year but Owen still has some neighborhood buddies in his room this year.

Here is a picture of Owen and Molly at orientation....

Owen loves his little friend Molly - after the first day of school I said "Who did you play with today Owen?" He replied with "My pretty friend Molly. I miss Molly!" How sweet is that?!

The morning of the first day of school was a little hectic. Owen stepped on a broken light bulb and while we were checking to make sure there was no glass stuck in his foot, Grayson somehow got past the baby gate and went up the stairs without us knowing. We really aren't sure how far he made it up before we heard a couple of loud bang noises and crying. He tumbled down the steps in the midst of all the chaos. Everyone is okay now but it was a little crazy for a few minutes and I wasn't sure we were going to make it to school on time let alone get the first day of school pictures that are absolutely necessary. We made it and we got the pictures....

This is the best one we got that morning...
