Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

This past week Nate's school celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday. They had different themes each day to go along with books. Nate was sick one day and his teacher was gone 2 days, so this was the only day we really did it. This was "If I ran the Circus" and they were supposed to dress as clowns or in mismatched clothes. When we got to Nate's school and saw that no one was really dressed up I was worried that he would be embarrassed, but he was just excited to jump out of the car and get his glasses on. I went to volunteer later that morning and ran into Nate's teacher before him and asked if he was embarrassed. She said no, that he was loving it and he even got to have his picture taken for the yearbook! I was glad to hear it because he can be so dang shy and I didn't want this to scar him for life. He didn't seem to mind the attention like he normally does, wanting to crawl under his desk every time someone looks at him.

Nate's First Day of School

Nate started Kindergarten this year and loves it. Here's a picture of his first day. I'll post more when I can figure out how to turn them (they're all side ways)! I wish I had taken an after shot because he was so exhausted after school and looked terrible. He kept saying things like "I can't even move my arms" and "I just need to lay down for a while". It was funny and sad at the same time. I wanted to carry him to the car! But, it only lasted a week or so and now he comes home ready for more!
