William's First Day of Preschool

SCHOOL:

WOW! Fall is here and that means school. William has been asking
ALL summer when school was starting? Well, this week buddy!
We are lucky to live less than a mile from school so that means that
almost everyday since we moved here we drive by school and I hear:

When does school start?
LOOK- This is my school!
I see TWO playgrounds
Why am I not in school?
I see children on the playground!
Well, Buddy, school is here! :)

Meet the Teachers:
Tuesday was "Meet the Teacher" day. William was so excited to meet
his teachers and see his classroom. Annabel was equally excited
to play in Big Brother's class.

Ms. Audrie and Mrs. Swift
These two ladies are so warm and loving!

William and Annabel playing "office"

William quickly found his way to the sand box.
He says this is his favorite thing to do in class.
Who would have a sand box in a classroom?
NOT me!
All I think is:
MESSY!
But hey- it is not me and the kids love it!

First Day! He was SO excited
New backpack= check
lunch box= check
smile= check

He was READY!

He walked right in, so confident, so excited and so grown up!
He looked around, found a seat and started playing.
However, he did not like his new friend crowding in his space or
helping him.

Oh the joys of sharing!

So focused! So Proud!
We left after begging for a hug. He waved good bye and
got back to learning.
He asked me on Friday WHY he only goes to school 2 days a week.
Well, I explained that school days were Tuesday AND Thursday
from 8:30-2:30 and that is too long for Mommy to be away from you.
Since he just misses the cut off for school (Texas cut is September 1)
he will be have a couple more years of preschool and we will add
more days- eventually. I just LOVE hanging out with my buddy.
Poor Annabel seems so lost without him around. But it is nice to just focus and
have special time with just her. But man is lunch quiet!
