First Day of School!

What an exciting day! I could barely sleep last night. Today was Aaron's first day of school! He entered pre-school today. Of course, like any other normal parent out there, Brent and I came to the school with a video camera in hand (two to be exact, plus one camera phone-- our regular camera got lost at Legoland...) So three cameras total. Anyway... we dropped him off and Aaron began to notice that everyone had backpacks. He said, "Look Mom! He's got a backback! Look! He's got one too!" I then had to explain that all kids in school had backpacks... and he was so happy 'cause he also had one. Then when we met with his teacher and began to walk away, I decided to stay behind the fence to catch a few more moments on camera.... Aaron was totally content playing, and talking to his teacher, but then he looked around and noticed Brent and I standing from a distance taking his picture. He then yelled out, "Mo-om! (His classic whiney voice) Go!" Everyone in earshot looked at us and giggled. So Brent and I turned around and left.
Here is is running around our front door. An attempt to get him standing straight and smiling at the camera failed.
After school, Aaron went on to his gym class (a class he has been attending for while now...more pics later) Then when we got home I noticed that no-one was at the pool (it's been a bit crowded lately) and I knew the pool guy just cleaned (Yes, I'm a germ-a-phobe) so I offered to take Aaron swimming.
The pool was probably empty because it was the first day of school and also a huge thunder/lightning storm was a few miles away and it looked like it was heading our way. It never came though, but a couple of hours ago while we were at Aaron's gym it was raining really hard. Later on, I saw on the news that certain spots in Las Vegas flooded.

Anyway it was an exhausting first day of school, but it was a fun day for all of us.
