This shot was taken at 6:30 tonight. Einar was still passed out after falling asleep around 2:45pm! I think Mrs. Brown wore him out this morning in his first day of preschool. He is now awake again, but still kind of waking up and watching the news now with Jared.
This is how the day started....wake-up at 7am without an alarm clock, waffle and banana breakfast, getting dressed without too much trouble, and hopping in the car without a scene and fastening his own seatbelt--I think he was excited to be going to school. On Tuesday all four of us went to his class for meet-the-teacher day so we had already seen the classroom, met Mrs. Brown and picked up his red bucket. The red bucket will be going each day back and forth with Einar to school and we'll find his art work and papers in it when it comes home.
At school, but still in the parking lot, an eager Einar poses with his red bucket. All the bucket has in it now is a change of clothes in a ziplock bag.
Right before he enters the classroom, I insist on a quick photo in front of the door. I also mangaged to weasel a quick kiss from him before he rushed in to join the rest of the kids. No looking back for Einar! Soren and I then made our way back to the car and headed back home. Once home, Soren ate more and took a nap while I cleaned the bathroom and did some laundry.
After the thrill of pick-up there was a brief meltdown when I wanted him to stop long enough for a picture before we went home, but he recovered quickly.
And here we are after class is over. He had goldfish and juice for snacks, listened to two Clifford stories and a Bible story, sang a pig song, played on the playground, and that's all I was able to get out of him. Tonight he's chosen spaghetti and mint chocolate chip ice cream for dinner and he get's to eat off of the red plate.....This just in, the Three Little Pig song has now been identified as the Hokey Pokey.
