Samuel's first day of school!

I know I had been behind.. although its already been two weeks since Samuel started school here goes the post of the first day..
As excited as he has been to start school "like a big boy", he decided to get up 30 minutes earlier than usual (5:30 am). I wasn't too excited when he got me up.. After I made breakfast and he picked out his favorite clothes to go to school, he chose too what he wanted for a snack to take. I forgot to bring his back pack so he had to use the little cougar bag I had, which obviously didn't make him disagree at all! So while Jay got ready (not as excited to get ready for his first day like Samuel) I told Samuel I was going to take some shots of him to remember his first day of school. And these are the poses I got.Then I tried to film a little video, asking him about his expectations etc..
Finally, Daddy was ready and poor Benjamin got his shoes too to go bye bye (he said) and cried when I grabbed him and closed the door. Which, sadly still does everyday when daddy and brother leave every morning to go to school.From the balcony we watched them walk away, and of course they blew us a sweet kiss good bye.
Benjamin as sad as he was at first had a blast having mami all for himself. We read only the books he wanted (without fighting with brother) played with all the toys without having to wait for a turn and took his long quite morning and only nap.
At noon we went to pick up Samuel and this is how we found him. Coloring and excited to tell me how much fun he had. After lunch we went home and happily for me to see my boys teaching each other. Benjamin is being taking a lot of interest in vocabulary books with pictures and Samuel still likes them, so after each one having a book, Samuel decided to "read to him".

I couldn't catch the best of it but there is a few little moment I got. At first it was more of what Samuel was interested and asked me questions then he turned to his favorite page (sports) and then showed Benjamin each thing in it.

Later, I got them spontaneously..

However, last Thursday the teacher told me that she noticed Samuel was showing signs "of more advanced in skills" so they look at his age and noticed he didn't just turned 3 but that he was getting closer to 4 in 4 months. So they decided to bump him up to the higher age class. Less girls and more boys.. but I personally think he was more comfortable with the girls since they were more friendly. Either way, he still loves school just as much as the first day. And even gets sad on the weekends when we tell him there is no school on Saturday of Sunday.. I hope his excitement for school continues for a long time.
