Haines’ First Day Ever on his Birthday!

Haines’ was able to start school once he turned 2 a week after everyone else.  We were so thankful our school allowed him to start this year even though he barely missed the cut off by 10 days!  I really couldn’t imagine having to wait another year, because this boy was READY!  The Friday before he started, he pitched an epic fit when we dropped Charlie Banks off and he didn’t get to stay! I was still a little worried, because he does still cry when I take him to childcare at the gym.  But, on his SECOND birthday this big boy only cried because they wouldn’t open the gate fast enough to let him in!  He walked right in with his book bag and never looked back for me once.  Everyday since has been the same way.  He took birthday cookies to his new friends and we had a big afternoon celebrating. We swam, ordered pizza, ate cupcakes and had fun playing with his new toys. It is so hard to believe that our baby is two whole years old. He is a great eater, can jump in the pool and swim all the way to the steps by himself!, loves his big brother, wants to snack all day long, wakes up earlier than mommy would like, is tough as nails, very opinionated, loves to read and gives us a run for our money everyday!  We love him so very much!  Also, please note I am not as ignorant as his back to school sign would indicate. Ha!  I know how to spell September and have no idea how I didn’t notice until a week later that I misspelled it...mom brain is real!
