preschool

today ryan went to school.
ryder took a nap the whole time...
i had to keep myself busy while he was gone 
or i would start to cry thinking about him not being home.



he loves his backpack.
it was the first thing he showed his teacher when he got to school.
walking to my car, holding his stuff
he said his shoes "were hot"
and they probably really were, it was hot today.
tomorrow i'll send him in flip flops.
the first thing he said to me was 
"mom i loved it, i had SO much fun!"


i also made him a bus cake.
(even though he really won't be riding a bus for a couple more years)
my mom always made them for us when school started.
i thought i'd keep the tradition alive!
-i know my cake is kind of lame, better luck next year-
and we all know how much ry loves to blow out candles!
