Bronson's 1st week of school

Bronson started his new school last week, and he made the transition beautifully.  People asked me if I cried while dropping him off, and I confusingly say "no".  I don't know why.  When I dropped Brock off to school when he was young (back when I worked days), I did cry.  Maybe it's because he was the first child...or maybe it was because he cried when I left.  Bronson gets excited about school, and walks right in, not looking back.  The main teacher in there is great.  She's been in the same classroom for 7 years!  She's really soft spoken and gentle.  She has 3 other helpers in there as well.  The classroom is integrated for those with special needs and those without.  Right now Bronson is FASCINATED with shapes and colors.  He can name all his shapes and colors.  We will be driving down the road and he will be randomly calling out shapes and colors that he sees in the world.  As we were walking past our car to get in, he pointed to the reflector on the side door and said, "orange oval!"...yes, indeed it was an orange oval.  I had to sneak this picture of him, as he didn't want his picture taken on the first day of school.  This is him walking into his classroom.

Since Bronson is at school 4 mornings a week for 3 hours, it's just been me and the Brockster.  We've done fun things, as well as do some much needed errands that I can't do with Bronson in tow.  Here are some pictures of what the 2 of us have done.

(surprised him with a stuffed "Mario" that he thought Santa would bring him for Christmas next year...he would hold it every time he saw it and say, I get to see you next Christmas...it was too cute, and I couldn't resist)

Brock has been so sweet with Bronson.  He looks out for him, and introduces him to new friends on the playground. "Hey, that's my brother Bronson,...he's 3".  It melts my heart.  They have conversations with each other in the backseat of the car while driving.  Bronson proudly calls his brothers' name "Brott!"
