First day of Preschool!!

Andrew started Preschool today! There's a great little Methodist preschool just across the street from were we live... so close that I see it from our Mailboxes.

Andrew did great! We've been talking about it for weeks. Every time we drove by it (which is nearly every day) I'd point it out. He was at my sister's house a little bit ago and saw Mikayla, his cousin, get off the school bus... Rachel talked up school big time to him too. We've talked all about the fun things that go on in school and how all of his cousins are in school too. This morning when Andrew woke up and came downstairs I asked him what he was going to do today... and with a smile he said "Go to school!"

Started off the morning with a hot breakfast on the ever coveted "You are Special Today" Red plate!

The obligatory picture of the excited little student.

Poetic? Andrew's first year of school... Morgan's last year of school.

 His ADORABLE bag that my friend embroidered!

The happy face we left at school!


So what did I do after I dropped him off? I went home, promptly put Nora down for her morning nap and enjoyed one hour of quiet wrapped up in a good book! My visiting teachers came as well. Not that Andrew is a hand full at all (he is such a joy!) It was such a nice treat having just Nora at home!

When I picked him up, the teachers said he did great! When I asked him what he did, he quickly said that they sang songs, painted, ate a snack, and played with toys. I asked him if he wanted to go back, and he excitedly said "YES!" Success!

It's crazy how quickly he's growing up! Slow down, Andrew!

  4. I love this post. It's so hard to send them away, but much easier when you know they are enjoying it. Colby's big transition this year is riding the bus. They grow up WAY to fast!
