We have another student in our home! Mr. Matthew has officially started the "two's" program at Jack and Jill with Mrs. Murphy. He was so excited in the morning.
Matty ran to the closet and put on his backpack and wanted me to take his picture just like we did with Tyler. I think it's so sweet that he remembered that and wanted his own moment too. It's rare that he wants to smile for a picture, but the smile is true and was on his face all morning!
Doesn't he seem so happy!
I love the pic from the back because in a sense he seems so much older but then he puts on a little backpack that seems huge on him and it just makes me smile. A reminder that he's still my little boy.
We arrived at school a few minutes early for him to get a chance to get used to things and quite frankly I didn't want to feel rushed! At the exact moment we were walking in his teacher was walking out for something. I'm pretty sure it made Matty feel extra special.
I was a little nervous because sometimes he can be a wild card and a bit unpredictable. Well, I had nothing to be nervous about! He walked in like he owned the place. It was clear he was familiar with everything and everyone and didn't hesitate at all.
In fact, I said good bye and he hardly flinched. It was a perfect moment and also quite bittersweet. He really is getting so much bigger and independent and thrilled to have his own "thing".
When we picked him up, the smile was even bigger than the morning. He looked so proud of himself and loved showing us his mask that he made during class. And, I had to keep the tradition going for him too...cupcake decorating and party as soon as we got home (before lunch!). He was loving every minute of it. And I was also so proud of Tyler for encouraging him in the morning and was genuinely happy for him when we picked Matty up. I loved seeing the brotherly love and witnessing Tyler giving Matty the attention he deserved!
It was a great party!
