Every year I take these three photos:
Michael getting up:
This year was harder in getting him up than the last (which was harder than the last).
Eating Breakfast,made by mom (doesn't normally happen, cuz I usually leave before his breakfast, but for the first day--I go to work late)
This year, its the first year he is eating in the living room--watching t.v. (well, I guess its good that it took this long before this started happening...)
Leaving the house.
Each year, he is getting taller!
Okay, so those are the traditional shots I have to get. Here are other random ones I took this morning:
He picked out the outfit..its very Michael. I used to care about getting his hair just right for the first day. But, you know...he needs a haircut, but it looks better than some of those kids I saw last year with mohawks (okay, when did this become a trend again?!!?)
Willow, of course, had to get into the act!
Of course, the shot I wanted had her looking at her big brother...
My little ham. This was one of the first photos I took this morning...
I think I was more nervous than he was this morning. I can't wait to pick him up today and hear all about it!

I remember my mom taking those kinds of pictures. Standing in front of the door in our new school clothes, bookbags in hand...
Your son looks like he's prepared for a great first day!
Oh how sweet!
If you do it every year...you could have a gallery ready...and what a treasure it would be!
Loved Willow stretching her hands...
Great pictures! Hope his first day was a good one!
I forgot to take photos last year, but I got them this year. It is so cool how you catch him in three unposed moments. I need to remember this for next year.
I hope that he is having a wonderful first day!!!!!
What great pics!
How cute! These photos will be a treasure to him when he grows up! Its a great tradition :D
Hope he had a great day!
Are you telling me that waking the kids up will continue to get harder?
I probably could have guessed that, but I'm in denial.
Great pix!
Hope his day was fantastic!!
I think the trend started with Maddox Jolie, who had a mohawk in 2005. I wonder what all of the "cool" kids would say if they realized they were emulating a then-4-year-old.
I am soooo behind on blogs, but it just struck me how grown up your kids look! I hope the first day was a good one!
he looks very ready for a new year at school... love the eyeball shirt. willow looked adorable too, like she was saying "hey where are you going without me!" thanks for sharing
ps i too wonder where that mohawk rebirth came from
I get a real kick out of seeing back to school photos. Thanks for sharing yours!
OMG!! They are both so big!!!!!
