Mitch started preschool this morning!
I took the morning off so we could make this a special day. He and I went out for a doughnut and chocolate milk together before walking to school. The entire time he kept telling me how excited he was. "I can't wait!" was an oft-repeated refrain. In the above photo, his arms are his fire hose and he is super pumped! We even hid a contraband kitty in his backpack for added security.
When we got to the preschool, his friend Quinn was arriving, too. Almost instantly, Mitch stopped his grinning and became more clingy and hesitant. Just try to get a nice smile now!
However, Avery arrived and began to show him around like a little expert. Having Quinn and Avery there already will be a big help, I'm sure. When I left, they were coloring and he seemed okay with my departure. No tears for either of us! Here's to a year of learning, confidence-building, and friend-making. At breakfast he prayed for help sharing at preschool.
When I picked him up, he told me, "I can't wait 'til the next day! I love school!"

Sounds like good breeding to me. Both parents are teachers. All four grandparents are teachers. What's not to like about school?
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun morning for you two. :) I love all the pictures--super documentation of the mood of the morning. And I'm sure he's loving it every day. And mom, his aunt and uncle were/are teachers.
