< back to school >

Well, Monday marked the beginning of another [pre]school year here at the Marler house. On one hand I've been waiting for it all summer (and I do mean ALL summer). =) It is a time of new beginnings... and it means that my favorite time year is fast approaching (although with a high of 109F at my house today, I'm not sure we'll have much of a fall!).

On the other hand it makes me 'a little bitty sad', as Jacob would say, because this is his LAST year of preschool - and next year it will be onto big-boy school. But I know Jacob does so much better when he is in a routine. Let's face it - his Mommy does so much better when she's in a routine, too! So I'll forgo the sappy 'I-don't-want-my-baby-boy-to-grow-up' post and get onto the pictures of his first day at school. =)

Making a mad dash for me at the end of school - there's Miss Trish in the background.

Showing me his stamp for being a good boy... Yay Jacob!
