Jack's First Day of School

Today was Jack's first day of 4K. He's going to the same church program he's been attending for the past two years, but will go M-Th until 12:00. We met his teacher last week and toured the classroom and I think that really got him ready. He was super excited this morning and when we pulled up in the car line, he jumped right out like an old pro! When I picked him up he told me there were beans there - "not for eating, just to play with," along with cups and spoons and "it's ok if they fall on the floor." Guess that was the highlight of the day!

I've learned not to bombard him with questions when he gets in the car, so I told him what I did while he was at school first. Then Anna told him everything she did, and before I could ask him a question about his day, the following conversation happened:

Anna: "Jack, did you have fun at your class?"
Jack: "I had LOTS of fun at my class, Anna!"
Anna: "Was Hayden there today?"
Jack: "Hayden was there, and Gracie, and Sophia, and a girl from church, but I can't remember her name."

It was the sweetest conversation and Anna got more information out of him than I usually get!

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
