**updated afterschool
Trent started school today at Kid1st. Zachary doesn't start until Thursday so we are enjoying a day together. T cried when we dropped him off and Z and I both felt awful. A few minutes after leaving the church, Z said, "I bet he found a toy to play with, Mama. I bet he's not crying anymore." I love that he still had his little brother on his mind.
Here he is before his big day. AND, guess what's under his shorts...not a diaper! Big boy undies! I am anxious to see how he does away from home.
These are the treats that he took for his teachers.
I live by a philosophy a fellow mom of boys taught me when I was just a rookie mom: "Dress your kids cute and send good teacher gifts...no matter how bad your kids are, their teachers will still love them!" So far, it's worked for us!
Update: I just picked T up from school and they said he had a wonderful day. He stayed dry ALL day even during nap. I am so proud!

Hey Mary Katherine!
I have been reading your blog for awhile now and was compelled to comment on this picture of Trent. It is just precious!!
Your family is just so sweet. I often hear updates from your mother-in-law, who I am sure loves having you close by. :-)
Oh, he is precious!! Good luck with the potty training!
Love the idea of the cute gifts and cute dressed kids....I live by the same rule!
Well, I feel really tacky now for not taking teacher gifts. Those are very cute though--over-achiever! :)
I can't believe he's wearing big boy underwear now--that's so good! He looks precious. Glad he had a good first day.
So true, so true. Gift cards to our favorite stores work well too! :)
Hope you have a great school year! Those treats are so cute and I am sure their teachers really appreciate the thought!
Yeah Trent, so thankful you had a GREAT day, your first day of school!
Such cute teacher gifts! Where did you get the jars? I might have to borrow this idea!
Very good advice about teachers, cute clothes, and gifts!
I LOVE the suggestion for cute kids & fun gifts...mental note!! Did you print those labels yourself?
Well, I see you are still up to your old "tricks" ...Super Cute Gifts! Are you writing them down in a book? You should, publish it, make money. I would buy it! I need all the help I can get!
Super Cute!!
