Preschool Day Hooray!



Today was McCord's first day of Preschool and no one is more shocked than I that we made it into the classroom at drop off with no tears.  McCord, my normally shy and reserved child, may very well have been the most excited child there and was literally bouncing with excitement!

He was so proud to wear his school bus t-shirt and pants. 


Tuesday he got to meet both of his teachers, Mrs. Martha and Mrs. Helen, in his new classroom.  He had three questions about preschool: will I get a snack snack; will I get to go outside; and will I get to paint? In that order.


Matching outfits for Wade and Mc for the special occasion.

We've been doing lots of talking about preschool and what to expect, because you just never know what their little minds are thinking.  Thankfully, it all went well - and I contribute that mostly to this book that we've been reading lately.

One of my friends graciously took this just before dropping Mc off - love that Wade with his jolly self is even smiling for McCord. 



Here's Mc all tuckered out after a busy day playing and learning. Doesn't he look especially collegiate?
Not sure if this is the school's tradition, but there was a bunny in the lobby for all of the children to greet. Mc loved meeting "Shirley."  We got his monogrammed seersucker backpack from this seller on etsy. 
And what did we take home to remember the day by?  McCord's own self portrait!

Making Boys' Clothes

There's so much I love about having 2 boys, but I didn't expect one of those things to be dressing them alike.  There's some odd motherly joy in seeing McCord and Wade in coordinating outfits.  Here are a few things I've made for them lately.

Mc will be starting preschool in September, so here's his first day of school outfit  I made for him and a matching onesie for Wade.  Coordinating diaper cover to follow. 







As you can see in our "all boy" household, we love all things vehicular.

...and here's a little appliqued monogram t-shirt I made for Mc's girl friend Taylor for her 2nd birthday.
