Taking a Bite Out of Another School Year

These two little fishies have of-fish-ally schooled themselves.

 

One fish, two fish, blue fish, blue fi--

SHARK!

We can thank Amazon's "Items you may also like" links for the themed backpacks this year. We clicked down a shark hole that grabbed hold of us and didn't let go. 

Both the boys were super stoked to start their first day. We had to fake Carson's first day 2 times before the real first day finally rolled around. Why must they torture kindergartners so?! I scheduled his assessment on the morning of the first day of school, then he had to wait 2 days, then do a parent/kid school day on Monday and then finally on Tuesday, almost a week after Eli had been going to school, he got his real REAL first day. Killer!

Someone wasn't about to let his lack of schooling cause him to miss out on a close up. 

Or a full-body shot. 

As luck would have it, these two little dudes ended up in the same class again!

And when I asked Eli about his first day of second grade, he threw me a big thumbs up.

Pretend first day #2 (go with a parent) rolled around for Carson and Edison who are in different kindergarten classes.

These sassy toddlers wouldn't allow us to forget their existence even if their existence is currently unrelated to the reason we were taking pictures.  They're cute enough to document no matter what the occasion...or lack thereof.

We finally made it to the real REAL first day of school!

Carson was 100% ready to wish me farewell and turn himself into an independent school goer. We're off to a great start!
