Avery's First Day of Preschool ! ! !

WOW!!! This day came a lot faster than I ever could've imagined. We started researching preschools for Avery in January, and at that time September seemed SO. FAR. OFF!!! Here it is September 6th and the triple A bomber is 3 1/2 years old and ready for the next step in life.

We found his preschool at the referral of our dear friends and fell in love with it the minute we walked through the doors to tour the place. Then, we met several of the teachers, toured the school itself, asked several questions and from that point on, we knew this was the place for Avery to start his school career.

Here's how our first day of preschool went.


Avery was SUPER stoked about his Cars lunchbox and wants to carry it with him everywhere. Just woke up, jammies still on and Blue's Clues was his cartoon of choice.

Part of our morning routine: Avery feeds Josey and sits with him while he "eats his dinner."

Outside his school, mommy and Avery pause for a photo taken by Daddy.

Whoa, Sunny Sarasota? Yes, you are!!! Pardon the glare on Daddy's face while he helps Avery out of the car.

In his classroom, with Ms. Amy (teacher's assistant). He's learning where he needs to put his name card everyday.

And, after that, Mommy, Daddy and Landon had to say our goodbyes. We kept them short, sweet and to the point. Not a single tear shed (well, none by Avery at least). He was more than excited to be there.

Although he gets to eat his lunch at school, we still went to Chik Fil A afterwards for icecream and playtime. We met his "big sisters" there and this was such a treat for him after his first day at preschool.

Becca and Avery goofing around as always.

A warm smile with a mouth full of candies.

Upon getting in the car to head to the house, Avery says, "Mommy, I'm so tired." Next thing I notice:

Cheers to a great school year ahead!!!!
