Oh my darling little Matthew Joseph started his first day of preschool! He has been talking and talking and talking for this for weeks...the day finally came!!! School day Friday. Every morning for the past few weeks Matthew would wake up asking if the day was Friday. He would smile when we said, "nope, it is Monday (tues, wed, etc...). However, Friday morning he woke up and did his normal ask, "is today Friday mommy?" and when my answer was, "why YES Matthew, it is!" he gave me the "but I only go to school one day mommy and I don't want to go today...I think it's Monday mommy!". Much to his hesitation, we carried on with our morning got ready for school and before we knew it, it was time to get in the car and go. Little Matthew, still thinking it was Monday, got in the car with a very puzzled little face.
We pulled in the parking lot, he still was confused, however, put on his backpack. We walked into the building, after taking pictures of course and as we were walking up the (3 flights.....yiesh...) of steps we turned to me and said, "mommy, today is Monday, I only go to school one day, and it's still Monday. Only Sam will go." .....and let me tell you , he was shaking in his shoes!

We walked in, he found his hook with his name, hung up his backpack with his big brother Sam and we walked into the classroom. He looked at me with his puppy dog eyes and said, "mommy, it's Monday, right?". I quietly (literally) pushed him into his room, as he continued to shake in his shoes, and gave lots of quick kisses and hugs to both boys, the teacher smiled at me, Matthew wined that today was Monday, I gave him a big hug, told him I was so proud of him on his first day and RAN to the door as I tripped over my own shoes and said with a huge smile on my face, "have fun boys! I'll be back soon to hear all about your day!". Matthew, still puzzled looked at me, then looked at the teacher, then looked at Sam (who was off being Mr. social butterfly) scanned the room for a window to jump out of....looked at me, wined a little, looked for Sam, looked at his teacher, looked at me, looked at his teacher, opened his mouth and screamed, "Bye mommy, I'll see you when you come back, don't worry, I won't miss you!".
--seriously now, I didn't' know what to expect, all I knew was, I was outta there!
So now, I have two little boys, at the same preschool, in the same class!!! They love school. Sam wishes he could go more days. Matthew wakes up every morning thinking it's Monday and together they have it made. Sam definitely plays the "big brother" role there as he says, "mommy, why does Matthew always sit next to me in school!

Love them!
Here are some pictures from Mr. Matthew. He told me the only way he could smile was if he did it like this, as he still swears today is Monday!
Matthew, get your hands out of your mouth...no mommy, this is how I smile....
Can you please smile with your hands out of your mouth? no mommy, this helps me smile.
Please Matthew, I can't see your handsome face with your hands in there....no mommy, this is how I do it. I'm Matthew, not handsome.
(okay, maybe if I back up a bit he will take his fingers out of his mouth...)RIGHT!
And..tadah! Here is my little Pre-K3'r.
