First Day of Preschool

Rowen's first day of preschool was yesterday, September 7th, 2011. We had visited his preschool 2 days before Paxton was born so Rowen was familiar with the classroom and his teacher. He has been very excited, asking me when does he get to go to school and talking about what he plans to play with when he gets there.

The night before preschool we gave him new Lightning McQueen light up shoes. He LOVES them! He couldn't wait to put them on in the morning but he was a bit anxious about going to school. He kept asking where daddy and mommy and Paxton were going to be. He also wanted to be sure that he was going to get to show Paxton off to his friends, however when we got there he completely forgot about little brother- just as it should be :).

Daddy and Rowen made french toast together for breakfast then it was time to eat and head out the door. We tried to keep it very low key, not talk about school too much and it actually worked best for Rowen this way.

Our big boy... he is so special.

I had to get one photo with my preschool boy.

As soon as we got to school he posed for photos and then walked into the classroom, found the cars bucket right away and began playing. As soon as we felt he was busy and happy we said goodbye and walked out.

When we came back to pick him up he was playing on the playground, having a great time. According to his teacher he did great the entire time! He loved every minute of it. We knew he would.





Rowen told us about everything he could possibly remember doing at preschool... blue play dough, his teacher reading aloud Brown Bear, Brown Bear, cheese and crackers for snack, the purple car and the car that looks just like Daddy's bronco, the little boy who got stung by a bee outside, coloring a picture for mommy, how Miss Rachel and Gail like his light up shoes, the names of all the boys in his class (he didn't know a single one of the boys until that day- he knows a few of the girls), measuring things with his teacher, and how much he wants to go back to school! We couldn't be more proud!
