First Ever 1st Day of School

Parker started preschool today!  It was a really last minute decision, but he is in and LOVES it.  I woke him up this morning by whispering in his ear, “do you want to go to school today?”  He jumped up and said “Yes!  I do want to go to school.” He moved slowly, but we finally made it out of the door.  I learned to allow a little more time to get ready from now on.  I can only imagine when he’s a teenager how slow the process will be. 

My growing little man ready to go!

Really thinking this through at first.

 

How I spent part of my morning while Chloe slept in her car seat.

I finally snapped a picture of this cutie smiling.

This was our 1st Day of School Dinner Party.  We wanted to wait for daddy to get home to celebrate, so I let Parker choose dinner and we had little party horns and everything.  He chose to have chocolate chip pancakes, turkey bacon, and strawberries.  It was a yummy meal.  I can see a tradition starting here, and I love it.

Really tired of pictures at this point.

Of course he had a blast at school, and he loved his teacher, Ms. Becky.  These are some of the things he told me when I picked him up.

The 1st thing was, “mommy I didn’t push and hit anybody.”

When asked what he learned today, he said, “I learned Jesus.  I learned apple.”

I asked if he made any friends, and he said, “I got friends, but I don’t know them names”.  Me: “You don’t?” Parker: “No, because I didn’t ask them what they names was.”

He lit up with a huge smile on his face when he was telling me about music time.  He said when they were done dancing, Ms. Becky gave him smarties.  Then followed with “mommy, smarties are my favorite.”  Ms. Becky just has no idea the friend she just made!
