Luke's First day of Preschool

The day I have been waiting for finally came…Luke's first day of school. He did great. Gavin on the other hand, didn't handle it so well. I didn't even get to see Luke go into his classroom b/c Gavin was throwing a fit that I wouldn't let him run up the stairs. So there I am holding a screaming 30 lb toddler while all the 3 year-old line up to go into their classrooms. I didn't have time to be upset, I was to busy. I wanted to get a picture, but that didn't happen. I did get the traditional photo on the front steps of the house wearing the backpack. At was cute. But sine I lost me digital camera and have not replaced it yet, I had to use an actual camera with FILM! can you believe it?! I really miss my digital camera.

So we left school and off to the pediatrician we went for Gavin's 2 year check up. The whole way there, Gavin kept asking, "Where's Luke?" I kept telling him that Luke was at school and that he had the whole morning with mommy! Once we got to the pedi office, Gavin began to cry—and cried the whole hour we were there. And to top it off, he had to get shots. Like he wasn't already pissed off enough, now we are going to hold him down and stick needles in him. Brilliant.

We left there to head to Target to get EpiPens for Luke to keep at school. Gavin fell asleep for the last 5 minutes in the car. Of course he was tired, I'm always exhausted after I scream for an hour. The script wasn't fill, and so I had to leave empty handed b/c it was time to pick up Luke.

Luke was happy to see us. He made a First day of school certificate that had his teacher's name on it, the date, and a picture of a school to color in. Teacher said he did well—no tears but had some trouble following the rules and even said "NO!" a few times. So I have already started talking to Luke about following the rules and listening to his teacher.

Should be an interesting year.
