I cant believe the first week of schol is almost over already! It has been going great too! Last year was so hard for Andy...and for me- becuase it was hard to hear him say that he just wanted to stay home and play with us and his toys ;) But this year has been great so far. He loves his teacher and has friends from last year in his class this year. Even Justin has done great so far! He kind of remembers me leaving him in the sib care room while me and Andy went to his class for ECFE preschool a couple of years ago...but he has never just been dropped off and alone like this! I have always been in the same building (Unless it is grandmas house or something, but thats different!) He strutted his stuff the whole way to school, up the sidewalk, peeked through the door like get this thing open, strutted to his classroom and once we got there... cowered behind my leg :) One little sentence was all he needed, and then he was fine! All I had to tell him was that the other kids were nervous too- and he started up the strut again (after he made sure the Thomas the Train table was still in the classroom!) I am so proud of my two little school boys :) Heres some pictures from the first day...a little late!
Waitng for school to start....
Still waiting for school to start...
Every year we will take their picture in front of this door :) It will be crazy to look back on how much they grow each year!
Buddies (for the moment!)
Everyone is getting their higs and kisses...it's time to go!!!
Well, would you let us in already???
Hmmm. Do I REALLY want to go through with this??
My first day of preschool ever! I found a toy and I am happy as could be!
I took this one on my way out the door. Obviously you can tell which one of us has separation anxiety. I will give you a hint. It is NOT the 3 1/2 year old! I looked back and saw him sitting their coloring with his friends and I kind of got teary. I cant believe thiat is my little Justin. What a big boy!!!
I wish I could go to Andy's class with him and take pictures too...but in 1st grade, I think they might not like that! haha. I did get some of him getting off the bus though! What a week!
Yay...they are doing awesome! I see Andy all the time and he is always smiling! :)
ReplyDeleteKindergarten is a big step...and a whole new world to get used to (for mom and kid!)
I am so glad Belle is loving Kindergarten :) I bet it is nice knowing she is right there though! You can just peek in if you need to!!! How is she doing wtih full day?
ReplyDeleteShe is really doing great! She's pretty tired when the day is done...and was exhausted last night. But she loves it. And I love getting to see her during the day (although I don't get to as much as I want to). It's kind of weird though...to see her in the hall or at our assemblies or whatever. Just weird...but cute too.
ReplyDeleteHey...I remember you saying one day that you were worried that Andy doesn't have any friends that he plays with. I was watching him outside yesterday and he had a little buddy he was playing tag with. Can't remember the kid's name but they were having a blast together! Don't worry Mama, he's a little shy but he plays with the kids too! (I have the same fear for Belle too)
Thanks for spying for me :D He talks about his friends...but then says he played by himself on the playground...or something of that sort depending on the day.(Atleast as of last year) I am sure he will be fine. He seems alot more confident this year. Was the kids name Brady? He was in Andy's class last year. It is so hard to have a shy kid and just wanting to make sure they are doing ok :) I am not sure if he is super shy like he was last year or not??? Maybe a little...I dont know!! Is Belle doing ok and talking to some new friends?
ReplyDeleteI cant imagine how weird it is to finally see your "baby" at your school events AS a student!!! Crazy stuff!
