Conner Began Preschool

It's official. We have a school-aged child. Conner began preschool this past Tuesday and absolutely loved it. We couldn't ask for a better transition for him to begin his schooling experience. We are now in California closer to family, and his own Grandma is his preschool teacher! He was so cute on his first day because he was super excited as we got ready, took pictures, and walked from the car to the classroom. He was all smiles and chatty... until we got to the door. He stopped in his tracks and was silent for a while. He leaned in and looked around, but wouldn't cross into the classroom. He eventually asked me "Where's Grandma?" When she came over he went in and began to observe more...smiling. He was introduced to other kids and I showed him where some toys were. He started to play with me...and then took a toy and walked away from me. He went to another part of the classroom and began to play...and yes, I just sat there...realizing that was the moment I was waiting for. He was ready. I could leave. Of course I wasn't ready. :) I stayed and watched him get involved in their Friendship Marble Painting activity. He said "You'll come back later? OK." He was totally into it, loving preschool already. He's off to a great start.








When he saw me at the end of the day, he dropped what was in his hands and RAN my way...then stopped, turned around to go back and get what he dropped. He was so happy to share that he got to be the student to take home the "share can." He walked to the car proudly and told me about his day. I'm pretty sure where all going to enjoy this preschool adventure.
