Conner Goes to School!

My sweet little Conner has been pleading to go to school almost daily and Thursday he got to go! I had signed him up at several different churches in July and we were on the waiting list at all them for their Mom's Day Out program.

Monday the one I'd hoped for called and Tuesday we were at Open House and Thursday we were there! He was SO EXCITED! Of course we needed some pictures before school - excuse the mess - it's been hectic around here!

You can't tell it but Mason was very happy for Conner!

Encouraging him to get dressed and eat breakfast

and telling him what fun school is!

We headed to Shreveport after we dropped Mason off and still had about 45 minutes before school started. Conner did not understand why we were at Wal-mart and not school! But he went potty at Wal-mart which is a big YEA! He is getting so big!

We still had a few minutes so I took some really cute pictures of Conner at his "big school." I wish I could say that photographic genius struck and I posed this picture but actually I was trying to get him to smile at me and all he wanted to do was watch the lawnmowers. I think it turned out PERFECT however!

All grown up and ready for college . . . oops, I mean Mom's Day Out!

He was the first one in his room and I thought that might bring on some anxiety . . . I was sadly wrong! He went right to playing like he'd been there every day of his life.

So dropping off went smoothly but now what to do with myself??? I really had no idea how I'd fill 5 hours but somehow I managed! First stop Target since I had $15 in gift cards/coupons and I was excited to find all the essentials for Mason's Halloween costume for $16, as opposed to having to order it for over $60! My crafty friend Holly is going to help make his cloak so that he can be a knight in shiny armour. Last year I bought Conner's Halloween costume on Halloween so for it to be September 3 and I already have stuff is nothing short of a miracle! I am so thankful for this opportunity!

The rest of the day was filled with haircuts and errands and barely time for lunch before I needed to pick up Conner. He had a great day and can't wait to go back next Thursday! As we set in the car pick up line for Mason he fell asleep which is rare for him and a sure sign of a fun day at play!
