Is Pre-school for Mom or for Kyle?

At the beginning of August Kyle started pre-school! The weekend before school started Tim and I bought Kyle new shorts. I had Kyle pick a pair to wear to pre-school and now he considers them shorts that he only wears to school. When he gets home he changes into a different pair of shorts. It was quite the dramatic morning getting him ready for his first day. I quickly realized the morning would go smoother if I let him choose his shirt for school.

  Next we did his hair. I hate to admit how long it took to do his hair, so I won't. I thought I could get away with spiking it in the front but he started crying, "No! I don't want hair like Joseph Smith!!" Tim and I looked at each other and just about died.

After trying to get his hair to look like Papa's, Catcher's, Dada's, "pre-school hair," and whatever else he had envisioned, we finally settled on something that was new to all of us.

Kyle chose his own prop for the obligatory picture:

And he chose his own poses:

* As a reminder to myself I have to add in that the night before school he prayed that he would learn about saying, "please" and, "thank you." He was very upset the first day that he didn't learn about it and would tell me each time that he still didn't learn about saying that. He has finally forgotten!

Kyle enjoys going and singing the songs he learns there. I enjoy running errands with only one kid! There were no tears when I dropped him off, I was just too excited for us him! 

We love you Kyle!
