Around my house, the yells and screams are nearly constant. No, we're not having tantrums (right now) we are just excited for school. Ever since Nicholas understood the concept of school, he's been begging to go. We've been counting down the years, months, and finally days until that wonderful 1st day. Yesterday it was finally here. He basically danced around the house all morning shouting and cheering for preschool - he just couldn't wait any longer, he said. We took some cute pics with his backpack and loaded the car. In the parking lot, we met Nicholas' friend Ryan (God bless their teacher - they're in the same class). The excitement was building. Walking down the hallway, there were tears from so many other kids. Not mine. He was as pumped as he could be. Immediately upon arrival they got to PAINT! Already he was in heaven! They also toured the school, played outside, ate lunch, learned rules about school, and had share time. Nicholas was slightly upset, saying that other kids laughed at his share item and no one wanted to take it home. To clarify, the kids aren't supposed to take home anyone else's share item. You're just supposed to look at it - you know, show & tell! Nicholas brought a picture of himself holding Matthew. Anyway, Nicholas had a wonderful day and is already asking how many days until he goes back (yet another countdown).
Mom & Dad did just fine on this first day - no tears from us, either! It's hard to be sad or upset when your kid is just so excited! Julie (Ryan's Mommy) came back to our house & hung out with us for a while and then we all went out for lunch (Logan's - yummy). How nice to go out to eat with only 1 kid - and that one was quietly awake during our entire lunch! My favorite part of preschool so far is BOOK ORDERS!!! Yes, we received our very first book orders (THREE) and I can't WAIT to place my order!
