BTS for Gavin

Back to School time for Gavin.  Oh we have been waiting patiently since Bradley starts early and Gavin’s school has the latest possible start date.  Trying to have some back to school traditions.  Here is our handsome middle man all smiles for his big day!

He had a great first day back.  As if he needed to reconnect with Chase but he did anyways! He listed off all the kids names in his class.  He knows practically all of them already. I am impressed at his perceptiveness but if he could only learn his colors…hmmm! Hopefully, that is where school will come into play and help where mommy falls short.  Plus, it is just fun! The excitement in his face and stories about school makes me so joyful.

Because we were so excited we celebrated!!

Oh and because these boys all mesh together and who am I kidding, they like never get a post of their own anymore, here is Easton…

Here is his non-school (stay at home with mommy) photo.  It was actually quiet heartbreaking.  He assumed he was going to school when he got dressed because he loves to do everything with Gavin.  He even was on a search for his own lunchbox that doesn’t even exist. He got a cookie to distract him from crying and ease his pain.  I am just holding off with him since he is the last baby home with me.  Also, I am being cheap and don’t want to pay double tuition or drive to school every day of the week.  Sorry Bubbas, you are learning the ways of the third child very quickly.

I am glad he perked up and I plan to fill his alone time with lots of fun stuff.  Just him and me.  Three mornings a week for three hours each.  What a deal kid, what a deal!

Aww, sweet Gavin did awesome for your little photoshoot, and I noticed that Easton is wearing the same shirt that Chase wore last year on his first day of school. That means it's officially gone through 4 boys! We must be awesome with laundry, haha!!
