Ethan is Growing into such a Big Boy , First Day of Preschool !!!

So many exciting things have been happening in our family!
~We found out we were pregnant!
~ My sister who has been trying for 3 years found out she was pregnant!
~Ethan turns 3!!!!
~We find out we are having a healthy baby boy and my sister is having a healthy baby girl!
~ Ethan has his 3 year old well check-up where we find out how HEALTHY and smart he is! His check-up went great!
And on Monday, Ethan STARTED PRESCHOOL. I cannot believe Ethan had his first day of school. It was a very happy emotional moment for me. Our baby is growing up so fast. It's so true how it happens, it goes so fast. I prepared myself the night before but it did not matter, as soon as I dropped him off I walked to my car with tears just streaming. I was just so proud of the BIG BOY my Ethan has become. I had my normal Mommy worries while he was at school, and of course I missed him like crazy, but for the most part they all seemed to fade away after picking him up from school.  My heart melted during pick-up time, when he ran up to me and my mom. He looked a little tired but was happy. He was so proud to show me his awesome art work he did (already being proudly displayed in home). I LOVED listening to what he did in school, and what he thought about it. I am certain we made the right decision to send Ethan this year. He was SO READY to have this next big step. I look forward to the next 2 years ( he will have to go 2 more since the cut off date for Kindergarten you have to be 5 by August 1st. His birthday is Aug.13th)  of preschool and hope it goes very slowly. I just know watching him grow and learn new things will be the best part of it all.  Below are Ethan  stats from his 3 year old well check -up and pictures from his first day at school.
3 year Old Stats:
43 Pounds- ( big growing boy)
41 inches Tall - (extremely tall for his age)
Ethan measured and weighed off the charts. This was no surprise to us, he has been growing like a weed since he was 2 years old. We are so proud of our future football player he he:)

First day of school, taking it all in. This was the most serious I have ever seen my Ethan. If you know Ethan, he normally is smiling so big and being silly. He was being such a big boy for such a big day. Totally Seriousness!!!!

Running to me after the first day. We love his teacher!!!

First Art Project to bring home. We already have a collection from his first two days. We are working on a huge bulletin board to display his precious art work.

After school , and of course a much needed nap, Ethan and I made cookies to celebrate the big  day. I wanted to do something special with my big boy. Ethan loves making chocolate chip cookies. We had a great time. I also made a Delicious pot roast for dinner!! The day went well!

Checking out the Airplane while eating a cookie, Life is Good!

Dora wanted to come along to take Ethan to Preschool ....
