First Days of School

John started school on Monday (yes Labour Day)! We thought that was kind of strange, but apparently they do that here every year. While I didn't take a picture of him, he was pretty excited--you will just have to take my word. Pretty tired too this week as he has been working a tonne! So classes, kids, and working, these are the days of a father/husband/students life! :o) I really love this man I married!

Now for my little man, I can not believe that he has started pre-school. I debated about it, however, in the end we decided to do it because he needs the social development and Daddy would need some more study time if Mommy ever got a job! He is a social butterfly-- our extrovert, however, he stills need to mature socially and I thought this would really be a great way for him to learn and perhaps become a little less 'bossy'! :o) He has been so excited for months now. We went last week 'back-pack' shopping and he had to have the 'batman' one.

His first day was on Tuesday and it was an orientation, so we all went as a family. His first day all by himself was on Thursday and he loved it! Of course when I went to pick him up and asked the teachers how he did, I wasn't surprised to hear that he is the loudest in the class and needs to work on his listening. He is such a funny kid!

He is such a big boy now too. I wanted to hold his hand as I walked him in, but he would have none of that. So when I went to say good-bye to him, I didn't know whether or not I would get a hug and kiss, but he did. Too big to walk hand in hand, but never too big for a hug and kiss--that is my Zech!
No post would be complete without mentioning our sweet little princess. She is quite the little lady. Loves shoes, and loves to accessorize lately with purses, backpacks, whatever. She is also getting in her last two teeth (the bottom i-teeth)--yay! I can not wait until they are in--she has been miserable! She is talking more and more each day it seems. Her newest words are 'cat' and she now makes the 'meow' sound too (there is a reason for this--which I will share later). She also just started saying 'ba bye'. Every time Daddy leaves she gives kisses, and waves and now says 'ba bye'. She also just started blowing kisses and giving kisses over the computer to her Aunty, Uncle and cousins--too cute! She has a few more words that I have to do a post on--it is pretty funny. For now though, I leave you with this picture. She is becoming quite the Daddy's girl!
