Tracy Aviary

After Jaxon's first week of school, we decided to take a little field trip to the Tracy Aviary. We love Liberty park and all it has to offer. We started our day off by eating breakfast at the cafe in the middle of the park. I would highly recommend eating there the food is so yummy. After breakfast we were off to the Aviary. Jaxon has been looking forward to this for quite sometime, but I think he was a little disappointed when we got there and all the animals were birds. He kept asking where the elephants were! We did see some pretty cool birds though.

Jaxon's first week of school went relatively well, all tears considered. His second week started out a little rocky when he woke up on Monday and told me he was too sick to go to school. The funny thing was is that he was not even sick, he just really didn't want to go. I almost caved and let him stay home until I called my Mom and she said, "Oh no you NEED to send him to school". He was pouting the entire way to school and kept telling me it was closed. Once I dropped him off he was fine, but burst into tears once he saw my mom and dad who picked him up. Well see how tomorrow goes.....

1st Day of Pre-School

Yesterday was a huge milestone in Jaxon's life, he started pre-school!!! He has been looking forward to this day for sometime. I was a little worried when he woke up with a cold :( I had been sick the week prior and unfortunately had passed it along to him. Cold or no cold he was excited to go to school. He was all smiles the entire way there, he even let me take a few pictures of him. I walked him into the school, he put his "pack pack" on his hook and was eager to go into the class room and then that is when it all changed......We opened the door to the class room and to his dismay all 10 of the other children we SCREAMING their guts out!! He immediately wanted me to hold him The teacher instructed to say goodbye and leave so that's what I did after I pried him off of me. I was about to head up the stairs when I felt something grab my leg, it was him they weren't quick enough to catch him. So they had to tear him off of me screaming and yelling. I stayed in the hall for a minute afterwords, tears in my eyes. I peeked in on him one last time and he was sitting in his teacher's lap.
This was the first time in his life that I have left him with someone other than family. It was a HUGE step for both of us. I went to work and worried my self sick for the next 2 1/2 hours. My mom and I picked him up, she got there before him and was able to watch him play on the playground. He didn't see her and was just playing. He is such a smart, funny little boy. I know he is going to love school!
