Gavin and Enoch were up early for their first day of school. We gave Enoch a Yoda alarm clock the night before at set it at 7am, but he was up and going way before that. We started with our traditional first-day-of-school breakfast of French Toast and bacon. Gavin was fine and ate quite a bit, but Enoch was nervous and barely got down a half a slice.
The boys didn't plan this, but they both wore their BYU football shirts. Before I took pictures, Gavin said, "This is stupid, I don't want to be matching my little brother. I'm not doing pictures." I responded with a, "Oh yes you are. And I think it is cute so be quiet and go stand next to your brother." I finally got a smile out of Gavin, but only because he knew we would stand there until I got a good picture and he didn't want to miss the bus. I think it is adorable!
Gavin ran and caught the bus, while Enoch, Kate and I walked to school. I followed Enoch into his classroom (he remembered right where it was) and said good-bye. Enoch was too busy putting his backpack away and checking out his desk to notice that we were leaving. I admit, I was wiping away a few tears as Kate and I left the school. Such a big day for my little guy! Gavin was also on my mind and I kept a prayer in my heart all day for both of them.
The first day of school was a success. Both boys came home happy and excited for the upcoming year.

You gotta love those BYU Shirts! I totally understand why Gavin was not too excited, but it sounds like he was a good sport and obeyed his mother. I like the "prayer in your heart" part the best. You are a good mother.
Such a fun picture! I can't wait to hear how the next year goes for both of them.
I am so nervous, I have butterflies in my stomach for Carson. I am glad the boys first day went well!
