School Begins

Andrew started pre-K at the Fourth Presbyterian School on Monday. He was a bit tentative the first day (transitions can be hard for him...and the poor kid was still a bit jet lagged), but since day 2 he's been LOVING it. When he got home today, he drew a picture of his school with a frown face because he was sad to leave today. I didn't realize until he was heading up to bed tonight that he thought he was done with pre-k. Why not? VBS was a week ;). I take for granted that he doesn't have the years of experience to understand the concept of a school year. AND, we didn't talk as much about starting school over the summer because the build up last year was really stressful for him. Anyway, when we explained how long the year would last, he was super excited.

Outside his school the first day. He really wanted his hands in his pockets for this picture ;).
A quick shot of his classroom.

Later that afternoon, Dave took the boys to a park around the corner to explore.

Love this face.

Checking out the stream.

Bamboo!

Taking a break.

The next day Caden's new preschool teacher, Mrs. Mischkin, came for a home visit. He starts on the 13th, and is very excited. He'll be attending M,W,F mornings - Andrew all 5 mornings. We're looking forward to a fun year!
