Crazy Day!

Yesterday was one very eventful day! Andrew started Kindergarten and Danny had his 1st birthday. I'm not sure who it was harder for to let Andrew go to school, me or Jacob. Andrew will go to school Monday, Wednesday, & Friday all day long. School starts at 8:10 am - 2:50 pm. I think this is a LONG day for a Kindergartners, but what do I know.
As we were driving to school I was telling Andrew that I had bought him lunch and he needed to eat all his pizza. He said, I get a WHOLE pizza. NO, I laughed, you get a slice. He was scared he would have to share his lunch with everybody if he got a whole pizza. I then started to name off all the rules at school.
#1 Eat all your lunch
#2 Listen to your teacher.
#3 Be nice to your new friends.
#4 Know that Mom loves you and misses you A LOT!
Then Andrew said, Mom don't forget #5...Have faith in Jesus Christ.
That is right. Rule #5 is to have faith in Jesus Christ.
When we got to school Andrew was excited to put his stuff away in his locker and Jacob had to try out the locker too.
As we were leaving the school, Jacob let me know that this was NO fun! About an hour after we had been home, Jacob asked if we could go get Andrew. I told him we would go when school was over. Jacob said, "no, lets go get him NOW." This is going to be a LONG year for Jacob!!!
When I went to pick Andrew up he said school had been AWESOME. He was telling me that there was a boy named Ben in his class who had a hard time listening to the teacher. Andrew said a prayer for him in his head that he would be able to listen to the teacher...What a spiritual day.
Andrew also said that a girl had brought cup cakes for her birthday, but Andrew told his teacher that he couldn't have one because he has a cavity. I didn't know that he was so worried about his cavity. Good thing we are getting that taken care of the end of this month. I wish I could be a fly on the wall and listen to half the things the teacher hears all day.
I told Andrew that he had been to Kindergarten and now he could stay home with me. He thought I was crazy and was too excited to go to the library on Monday to stay home. I'm glad that he loves his teacher and is excited to learn.
Because of Kindergarten and a ward party, we celebrated Danny's birthday today. He wasn't too sure about the cake.
Once he tasted it, he thought it wasn't too bad. Andrew and Jacob couldn't wait to get their share too.
Danny has been such a fun baby. It is sad to see him walking and getting so big so fast. He loves his brothers and is trying his hardest to keep up with them. He isn't a big fan of eating, but will still drink a bottle so that is what fills his belly most days. He loves to have free reign of the house being able to go up and down the stairs to get where he wants.
We love you Danny!

It is so amazing how fast this year has gone by. Danny is such a sweet boy and so grown up. I'm glad that Andrew loves school and Jacob will adjust.

I know you aren't suppose to say this, but that picture of Andrew sitting at his desk...he has such a pretty face. What a doll. I can see why one day without him would be enough for you and that you would keep him home the rest of his life. Glad you wrote down what a funny day that was. I look forward to more of those days.

I remember when Justus started Kindergarten, it was pretty hard on Jared for him to be gone. But then he realized it was his chance for one-on-one time with mom, and that eased his pain, a little :) I love Andrew's rule #5! I used that story in our FHE last night. What a sweet little guy you've got.
