The First Day of Preschool

Cole began his first day of preschool the Wednesday after Labor Day.  To say that he was excited is a total understatement.  He loves learning and he loves being a big kid so school is perfect for him.  Cole was so brave, although a bit on the shy side, on his first day.  He found his cubby and put his things away without any problems.  He walked right in and found his seat and was so thrilled to be sitting with "school Jackson" who has been his buddy in Mother's Day Out since they were 18 months old.  I love his teacher and I love how she is truly preparing him (and us) for Kindergarten.  She is sweet and kind and all business when she needs to be.  So far he loves everything about preschool!

On the same day sweet Lily Kate had her first day of Mother's Day Out.  She thinks she is 4 as well so she was very ready and very excited for "school."  She is in a cute classroom right down the hall from her big brother and she gets to see him in Chapel on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Since Lily still isn't saying very much I rely on Cole to fill me in on if she was happy or not in Chapel.  He always says she is smiling and sitting in her teacher's lap.  Lily is still shy upon meeting new people but she did so well going to class.  She has never cried when I have dropped her off but does like to be handed to her teacher for some snuggles.  She has gotten a good and happy report every day that she has gone.  Her only struggle is eating lunch at school.  I think she is so distracted that she is not interested in sitting down to eat. 

We have all been so blessed by this experience.  I cannot wait to see what the year has in store for us!
