Friday's are show and tell day at school. AJ got to pick what he wanted to take. He had to take it in a plastic bag, and will have to give clues to his class about what it is. He practiced this morning at home, and this is what he said....

I mentioned yesterday that Drew had a mohawk. Thought I should show a picture of it.

While I was pregnant with AJ, I did my best to consider all of the things that I would need to do to be the perfect mother. Things like learning to decorate cakes so that my kids would have beautiful birthday cakes like I did when I was a kid. Or like keeping the bathroom completely clean at all times. Or like being completely finished with potty training before they turned 2. Or like making cute little baby books for each of them.

Today is "yellow day" for AJ at school. He was really excited about wearing his new shirt and taking yellow food in his lunch box. (They were asked to wear yellow clothing, but I went above and beyond and thought up the yellow lunch all on my own. Yeah...I'm a great mom.)

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to update on AJ's big day. It's been a really busy afternoon/evening (not used to this schedule yet), and I haven't been feeling well.

AJ did really well today. He came home with a stamp on his hand, which means that he was good all day long. His teacher sends home a notebook each day with a short note telling how he did, and she said that he asked a lot of questions (imagine that!) and colored really well. He did have a difficult time at naptime though. I'm sure he was tired, but in the different environment he had a hard time laying still and sleeping. We've talked to him about it, so we'll see how he does tomorrow.

He got 2 pieces of candy for following instructions the first time (all of the other students only got one). That's my boy!

After school, he asked when we would be going back to pick up the rest of his stuff. Apparently he didn't quite understand that he would be going every day. He wasn't quite sure what to think when I told him that.

This week, he is learning about the letter I, and it is yellow week. He has to wear yellow on Thursday, so I'm sure ya'll will see pictures of that.

Thanks for all of the prayers.

Well, AJ is off to his first day of school. He was so excited and was up at 6am all ready to go.

AJ had school orientation tonight. He got to take his supplies to school and see his classroom and talk to his teacher. Being the geeky loving mom that I am, I took a few pictures.

So this isn't exciting, but since I made it, I'm posting it. It's just like the one I just made for Drew.
