Preschool...already?

Seriously, how is it that my baby boy is in preschool already? He's not suppose to grow up this fast. Last week was meet the teacher. I was excited for William to get back in school and believe me, he was pumped too. In fact, he couldn't stop talking about his new "church school". It was a fun day, I met both of William's teachers and he got acquainted with his new classroom. I swear, my child has zero hesitation...he dove right in. Playing with all the toys, figuring out the little activities they had and helping himself to the mound of cookies they had for everyone. We stayed and played a bit longer then the rest. I really wanted William feeling comfortable with his new school. For the past 2 years he was going to a FABULOUS school in Austin with the best staff and most adorable kids, I really wanted him to settle in.


Meet the teacher

On the first day of school William, Chris and I were ready to go!! We got his lunch together (complete with Snoopy note) and got our boy dressed for his big day! There was a lot of anxiety the night before I told Chris nearly in tears that, "our child is only going to have his first day of preschool once". Duh...but I remember like yesterday bringing him home from the hospital and now he's in preschool. I don't know where the time has gone, but I couldn't be prouder of my little boy! On the first day he was such a champ, in fact I was ordered to put the camera away and "come on"! Apparently he was eager to go in. Walking in he didn't want to hold hands, he said he can do it all by himself. If that's not the most independent moment, I don't know what is. We dropped him off at his class with no problems! He went right in without any fussing. Picking him up was hilarious, I knew he'd have tons of comments and stories. His first comment was, "mom, I liked my old teachers and old friends". Not exactly what I expected to hear, but after digging through his back pack, we talked about what he did that day and he said he had so much fun! That's all that matters to me!

First Day of School!

Mr. Independent didn't want to hold Daddy's hand.

I'm so proud of my boy!!

Ready to go!!

This was a tradition growing up, my dad would always draw a picture of Snoopy for us to put in either our lunch box or backpack...I couldn't resist carrying on that tradition!
