First Day of School!

Monday was Maxwell’s first day of school and it went great!  His new teacher, Ms. Juli, couldn’t be sweeter and I think he’s going to love his new class. As a reminder, click here to see some pictures of his first day of school last year.  He’s grown a lot!  Here he is ready for his first day this year…

Sweet boy!

Luckily we didn’t get any of this when I dropped him off…

He wasn’t quite so sure about going into a new room at first, but then he spotted the awesome train table and he couldn’t get out of my arms fast enough. I don’t even think he noticed I left!  When I went to pick him up, he was the last one there!  Oh no!  Bad momma!  I was still 5 minutes early but I guess everyone else just got there even earlier.  whoops!

If you’re curious, we decided to go on and hold Maxwell back now instead of later.  Being an August 30 birthday, he could have moved on up into the two year old class this year as the cut off is September 1st (meaning you have to turn two by September 1).  However, Robert and I knew we didn’t want him to go into kindergarten in a few years as the very youngest so, instead of having to keep him in pre-school when he’s 5, we decided to go on and hold him back now so he’ll go through all of pre-school with the group of kids that he will go to kindergarten with.  It was a tough decision as he’ll always be the very oldest in his class but I think it was the right one for us.

Here’s to a great year of school!

See you tomorrow on Maxwell’s BIRTHDAY!
