Starting Preschool

Back to School Night

Ian could hardly contain his excitement to go to his "Back to School Night" at Miss Ronda's!

I loved seeing him so excited about something! 

When we got there he got his picture taken, traced his hand and wrote his name on it all by himself... we were both so proud!!

His classroom

His class played a "getting to know you" game and then we had cookies and milk! 

His first homework assignment!  He wanted to do it as soon as we got home!!  Hopefully that is the homework trend for the rest of his life!! =)

 

FIRST DAY

Starting on Sunday he started telling us he didn't want to go to preschool because I couldn't stay there with him and that worried him.  We reassured him that he was going to LOVE preschool, but he was still worried!

Monday morning was a mix of excitement and worry.  He kept going back and forth on whether or not he wanted to go!  He decided that he would go, but he was a little sad that Nik couldn't take him or see him go to his first day.  I told him if we took lots of pictures then dad could look at them when he got home!

Modeling his Buzz Lightyear backpack.

Trying really hard to smile his biggest!

The girls were so excited for Ian to start preschool!  They were very loving and supportive!

Giving hugs before we left!

In front of his preschool!

=)  She had to get out of the car to see that he made it to preschool!

This is his "I'm really nervous, but I'm going to smile so nobody knows" smile!

Sitting at his chair, but watching me very closely so I don't leave!

Tracing his name!  I was excited and happy when I saw these pages his teacher made for each of the kids.  It is a laminated piece of paper with their names written boldly on the first line, dotted on the second line and left blank on the third line so that they can practice writing their names!  Ian is going to thive going to this preschool!

After lots of kisses and hugs and me watching him write his name he finally let me leave!  I was so excited that he stayed without crying!  I thought I would be a little bit sad that my baby was starting preschool, but I wasn't... it was just pure happiness and excitement!

And this is his "I had a lot of fun, but I'm going to pretend I didn't" smile after we picked him up!! =)

Let's just say he is excited to go back on Wednesday!

And... Nik will be home at noon on Wednesday so Ian is excited that they are

going to ride their bikes over!

Love it!
