The day finally came! The day we have been talking about for 6 months now. The first day of preschool. Sam woke up this morning, jumped into bed with us (Matthew was still fast asleep) and his first words were, "daddy, let's talk about school today".
So we both talked about school today and what was going to occur and the steps we needed to take before we actually got in the car and drove to school. Dearest Daddy took a vacation day so he could be there for Sam as well. Here are a few pictures, yes a few, that we took before we loaded up the van and headed out.

BROTHERS!!! They are going to MISS each other :(
Sam's "bling" that he added to his outfit!
Sam's buddy, neighbor and good friend!!
Ty, Mallory and Sam...not sure what Sam is doing
Waiting so patiently for the door to open at 8:55 a.m.
Friend Mallory intrigued by the "bling". Mallory very interested.
Sam was the FIRST one in the door. Ms. Jamie was waiting for him!!!! Sam was so incredibly excited!
Ms. Jamie showed him where to hang his bag....
Sam and his first preschool teacher, Ms. Jamie!
Ms. Jamie said that Sam did so well today. No tears, just a ball full of help and "I'll do it". She said she truly enjoyed his spirit today and she can't wait to be a part of our lives.
WOOHOO!!!! You did it Sam!!! Mommy and daddy are just so proud of you. It feels like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital. Now, you are in the hands of a wonderful teacher who will help you learn and grow! We are so excited for the days and months to come. Matthew missed you today as he kept saying, "wheres Sam, Sam home, Sam scool".
When we went to pick him up we kind of got the look of, "oh, you're here for me already?". Although he was so happy to see us, I could tell that he loved his day. We heard all about the morning in bits and pieces. Every time he would talk to a loved one on the phone we found out a bit more. He showed Matthew circle time, science and a song. It was so cute.
We got home and had lunch, I swear he almost ate his plate as well. He was sooo hungry and so exhausted from his day.
