In Ian's and Gavin's minds...hahaha. Ian and Gavin set up their tents and put blankets and pillows in them along with some matchbox cars, baseball cards, books and flashlights. Yes, they were going camping! They had packed some toys and clothes in their suitcases for the trip. Then, all of a sudden, they switched modes and decided they were going to fly in an airplane to the Outer Banks and everyone would meet them there. They would be gone for 2 nights. Just picture this...
Ian and Gavin sat on the couch and they were on the bus to head to the terminal. Then, they got their bags off the couch because they had to go through security to get to the gate. Now, at this point, Ian was wearing his new, red backpack pulling his rolling duffle bag and Gavin was running behind him with his rolling duffle bag. Both were yelling, "Let's go catch the plane. We're flying American Eagle to the Outer Banks." They ran around and jumped back on the couch and now the couch was the airplane. Ian was the pilot, Gavin was the co-pilot and they asked me to be the one passenger on the plane. They flew the plane and landed safely!
I love times like this one because they are playing nicely together and using their imaginations. I noticed I'm not a crazy lady when we travel because they were nice and calm as travelers!

Today we went to the Kirk to meet Gavin's new teachers and classmates for 30 minutes. We arrived a bit early, so we went to see Miss Cathy and Miss Nancy, Ian's teachers from last year. Ian was very excited to see them again and it was like "home" to see his old classroom again. Gavin was just as excited to see them, too! Miss Brenda, the Director, talked to us for a few minutes as well and they are excited to see Gavin start pre-school and they said such great things about Kingswood for Ian!
We headed down to Gavin's classroom and Miss Sherri and Miss Ellen greeted the little guy! Ian showed Gavin where he'll put his backpack and helped him get adjusted by working on puzzles together and later the blocks. At one point, a child took some of Gavin's blocks and boy did Gavin not like that! hahahaha He didn't go over and take them back, but instead called for me to get them. Yea, right! I signed up to help with the Christmas party and February playdough (can't mess up with pink!!!). The classes are starting up classroom parents to help with communication. I asked Sherri if she heard back from anyone and she hadn't. So, my friend (Kim) and I will be the class parents!
Tomorrow is Ian's staggered entry day...full day working with the three kindergarten teachers. I still can't believe that Ian is starting kindergarten and Gavin is starting pre-school.
