parks’ first day of weekday school

it’s a big day in the monaco household… parks james started weekday school in a toddler class today (on his godfather’s birthday). i was a little emotional (mainly because he has been my main sidekick, my bud, for the past nineteen months) but i was overall, good. i am so excited for him and hope he enjoys his time there. i think that if he was four/five and it was officially ‘pre-school,’ i would be a big mess. he will be going two mornings a week this year and i already love, love the school- which makes all of this so much easier. 

i mean… 

don’t let him fool you… i think he was excited. 

a little blurry but i don’t care… i love this boy. and that he got his dada’s eyes.

(he never stops moving so photos tend to be blurry lately!)

his ‘moe moe’ (favorite thing in the world) went along
