School!

WE DID IT!!! We survived Isaac's first day of pre school!!!
He is so excited to be going to school and LOVES his teacher!
He goes 2 days a week, Monday and Friday, from 9-230.
It's a Montessori program which means it's very hands on and he can learn at his own pace.

He was so excited to go to school, he sat by the door until we were all ready to go.  He loves being able to take his lunch box to school. He was bummed that he wouldn't need a back pack but quickly got over that. On our way to school he was talking to us about random things and then says with a little chuckle "But I'm still a little bit nervous"
When we got to school he got all of his things put away and then had a hard time joining the rest of the class for circle time but that only lasted about 2 minutes and then he jumped right in.

When he got home it was a little challenging to get his 1st day of school experience out of him, due to the fact that he had his Nana and cousins here, but from what I did get he made bubbles with water, soap and a manual egg beater, he helped wash the dishes, he painted a picture, and poked holes in a circle on a piece of paper.  He only remembered 2 of his classmates names but there will be plenty of time for that.
Today was his 2nd day of school and it was a breeze. He was the 2nd one there and went right in, put his shoes on the rack, his lunch in the fridge and sat down on the carpet! When Ms Shawna asked if he wanted to give me a hug and kiss he said "Oh .... No. She's ok! Bye Mom and Gary!" and with that I left. I love that he's so quick to warm up to new people and new experiences! I can't wait to hear all about his 2nd day of school!
