D is ready for Preschool!

I've been trying to adjust to G being back in school this year...we've just been missing summertime when we are all playing together.  To make things more interesting, D will be starting PRESCHOOL this year!  While my heart seems to be tugging at me again, I am so excited for him because he is so excited about being in school!

We started out with a curriculum night for the whole family!  We were really looking forward to this so G would be able to show D around.  This was the preschool that G went to, and he loved it! 

We were a bit curious to see how D would do going into preschool since he still fights going into his primary class at church every once in a while.  We took pictures of all the things they wanted D to become familiar with.

Starting with all our boys at the front doors!!

Every day when D arrives he will be able to pick out his apple and hang it on the tree. 

Then he goes on to choosing an activity table!  There are four tables to choose from!

He knows where the letter of the day is too!

This is where circle time takes place.

Then the boys were able to play with all the cool toys they have!

We left that evening feeling pretty good about it all, and D was even more excited to be able to start School the next week!

After this test run, it was time for the real deal!  The first day of Preschool came, and D was so brave! 

(Do you see the excitement and nervousness?)

 He did a great job!  He went in, put on his name tag, hung up his apple and seemed so big.  Man, this whole heart-tugging thing is happening so often these days!

This was my last shot as D was big enough to be in Preschool!

As I walked out to the car, I had such a mixture of happiness that D had done so well and a bit of sadness knowing that my little boy isn't so little anymore.  He did great that day and has looked forward to "school" each day since!  We love you D!!!
