James had his first day of Preschool today. Well I wouldn't say it was his first day because they only went for an 1 1/2 hrs. It was kinda a get to know you day! He will be going Tuesday & Thursday from 9-1. I was shocked and so happy at how well he did. I had been prepping him for about a week that he was going to start school. All through summer we would talk about it here and there and sometimes he would be excited to start school and most of the time he didn't want to go. This last week though he has been ok with going.
Ready for his first day of school.
When we got to school this morning we walked in and found his classroom.
I introduced him to his teacher and he got his name tag!
Then he ran off to play with the cars!
I said good bye and that I would pick him up in a little bit. I walked to the door and as I was walking out more people were walking in so I couldn't get right out and then James yells "wait!" So I turned around and he wanted to tell me something about the toys and then I said ok see you later and I left! No crying or anything! SO happy! When I came to pick him up he was crying because he didn't want to leave!
I asked him how his day was and he had lots to tell me! He played with cars and trains and a boy yelled because he said that is mine! The teacher read a story called Spot. He sang a song, Winnie the Pooh, which I asked him if the teacher sang it and he told me no he just did! He made new friends although he didn't know any of their names. They went out on the playground but they couldn't play, next time they will. He got an owie and a band-aid! Already oh no! I can't wait for all the stories he will tell me every day he has school! Craig and I went to back to school night tonight and saw many parents that I knew! Every one of them said they loved James' teacher so that was very reassuring! We are both looking forward to all the things he will be learning this year! We can't believe our baby is in school! I hope he does just as well on Thursday!
