I need to post some photos from this week, before N has his real first day of school tomorrow.

But first: we have prepared N for school tomorrow. He is bringing the following in his blue TSNS bag (because his new LL Bean backpack is too small and his new NEW LL Bean backpack won't arrive until Friday): 2 small blankets, 2 stuffed animals, a water bottle, a change of clothes, and a snack. Tomorrow I will pack his lunch.

He seems ready. He said he had two fears: 1) that he would have to run too much during recess; and 2) that he'd be too excited in the classroom to nap on the cot.

Some pics from M&A's first day:

 Also, when I got home from work yesterday, N ran to the door and said, "Mommy! You're home! I am so happy you're home! I missed you so much all day today. And you're the best mommy in the whole world and I love you so much!"

Best way to be greeted!
