Happy First Day of School, Alaric!

We have been waiting for this day for months- Alaric's first day of school! He's been talking about it constantly and the day finally arrived. He woke up so happy and was even more delighted when Daddy surprised his with a special pancake breakfast!

A Mickey Mouse shaped pancake just for him!

Then we decided to take our neighbor's advice and measure our kids on the wall on their first day of school. Amara had a hard time standing still but we got her!
Alaric takes out his tape measure to measure his height- 39 inches!

Alaric found his backpack and he was ready to go. He put it on with his jammies and wouldn't take it off till it was time to get his school clothes on.
Almost ready to go!
New, clean haircut in the carport last night!
Sissy needed to be part of the action too!
Mommy and Alaric
Daddy and Alaric
This was our attempt at a family picture. Alaric was done with the photo shoot and Amara was not cooperating.
Alaric was so excited to actually get to school!
Are you kidding me? He's the cutest kid alive!
Daddy stood behind me to make him laugh! it worked
Huge honor....Alaric was asked to bring snack on the first day of school. You would have thought he had died and gone to heaven. This is him gripping his snack cups for dear life before getting the snack bag from daddy. Kisses all around.
Melt my heart- my baby is so big!
New school year, new classroom, and new hooks! Alaric finds his hook and cubby and gets settled in.
Brayden, Alaric, and Kelton enjoy freeplay!
Two and a half hours later, we returned to pick him up. Here, his teacher, Mrs. Winterbottom, gives ALaric a WAY TO GO sticker!
Off to McDOnalds for an icecream cone, our family tradition of icecream on the first and last days of school. Mara was eager for a lick.
He told us about his day as he finished his cone and played in the play area.
What a fun day! He'll be at Kairos Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays this year! Happy First Day of School, Alaric!
