Xander's in Preschool!

Photobucket

I was so excited for Xander to start preschool. I just love it when my kids start school. I kinda get excited with them-the new teacher, making new friends, and learning all sorts of things.

Xander is so funny lately when I try to take pictures of him. He's always making goofy faces. Check out Xander's versatility when it comes to posing for a picture.

I can't wait to hear about his day! He told me that he was going to make some friends today. I always think he's like Mia where new situations make her super shy and she sometimes cries. Xander is a little shy at first, but when I dropped him off, there were no tears!

Xander said that school was good and that he made a friend. This is his teacher Mrs. Sonya. From what I have heard, she is a great teacher.

Xander was asking me when he gets to go again. When I told him "Thursday", he wanted to know if it was tomorrow. I'm glad he is excited to go again!

He'll have a great year. Love the pictures. He does look like Mia in that one picture, but whenever I see him, I just think he looks so much like Ben!

Oh, I am so glad that Xander had a good first day. He is such a handsome little guy. Everyone of those pictures seems to capture his personality perfectly, good job Valerie!

Gotta keep it real with the nose pickin picture. Ha ha ha...I love it when they start school too, although part of me feels pretty darn sad.

I've never been one of those parents who cry when their kids go to school, but I have to say, I miss my Xander when he is not here. He is my little man and we are buddies!

Ohhhhh he is SO handsome! I can't believe he's old enough to go to Preschool.

Valerie! I'm so glad you left a comment on my blog so I could slip over and be reminded how much I miss you guys! GORGEOUS pictures. I can't believe how old Xander is- he is so handsome. And CJ?! HOW DID SHE GET THAT OLD? Loving Mia's hot pink arm bands... why don't we all live like that? I'm sorry to hear about the cats, that's heart breaking. I did love the drawing though- you can see what sweet doctrines are being taught at the Porter's.
