Casey's first day of pre-school!

Casey has been anticipating this day for months! It was really hard for him when Ryan started school and he had to wait another month! He met his teacher, Mrs. Cornelius last Tuesday and the next day he threw a fit when I told him he didn't start for another week!

Here he is on the way to school:

And just for fun, here are Ryan and Emily too :-)

Ryan starts school at 8am and Casey doesn't start until 9am. So to kill some time we went to the nearby Safeway and decided to get Mrs. Cornelius some flowers. Casey asked if he could get some whipped cream from the Starbuck's inside Safeway so we obliged:

He was gracious enough to share with his sister

Here he is waiting outside the classroom

And with Mrs. Cornelius' flowers

The proverbial shot with the little sister

And the moment he's been waiting for!

It was so cute - as we were about to turn into school after returning from Safeway, we hear this excited squeal from the backseat! Casey just couldn't contain himself, he was just giddy! After he came home, he told us all about his day and the songs he sang. For the rest of the day, all we heard was him singing this song, "5 little monkeys swinging from a tree, teasing Mr. Alligator 'can't catch me!'. Along came Mr. Alligator, quiet as can be and SNAPPED that monkey right out of that tree!" All I can say is, I hope those monkeys learned their lesson!
