First Day of Preschool!

Today was Hayden’s first day of preschool.  He is going to a one day a week/half day program.  I think it will be really great for him.  I have to admit, I was quite nervous about it. 

But, this morning, we got ready and headed out the door ready to go {trying to not be too anxious}. 

We couldn't leave without a  few pictures first!

Hayden and I talked the whole way about school, his teacher, listening, snack, etc.  He seemed ok until we drove in the driveway.  He had not ever been there before, but he knew something was about to happen!  He was very clingy to me!

Thankfully, he didn’t cry {I didn’t either} and his teacher, Mrs. Jen, was holding him when I left.  :-)

While he was at school, I was able to get  a lot done.  Post office, oil change, get new library cards, load/unload dishwasher, clean bathroom, put away laundry, work on computer, make phone calls, etc.  It was kind of nice!  ;-) 

But, those three hours while he was at school were very LONG! I missed him!  When I went to pick him up, he was sitting on his little floor spot where he was supposed to and she had asked them not to get up when we came in until it was their turn to come get their backpacks.  Hayden did just that.  I was so proud of him! 

Jamie, I am with you though…There was no play by play when I picked him up.  “He did great.”  That is it.  EEEK!  I know she doesn’t have time to go through everything with each parent.  But…it would be nice!  Ha! 

First day of Preschool=Success!

I am glad he did so great! Molly is going to start in a few weeks going to preschool two days a week. I am a little anxious too, but I know it will be good for her.

Awe! I know you missed him. It's so easy to get attached to our little guys, and when they're away from us...we feel like the time drags by!
Glad the day was a success! The best part is hanging around and watching them when they don't know it! ha

I also wanted to say thank you for your kind words on my blog and if I need anything I'll be sure to call.

What a cute sign! I wish I had done that. I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates not getting the play by play. :) SO HARD! Was he good? Did he share? Did he listen? Were the other kids nice to him? Oh the list goes on and on. :)
