Who’s Ready For Preschool?
ME!!!
Morrow had his first day of preschool today! Can you believe that?!?!
He went to a little open house last week to get ready, and today the little church bus came and picked him up right outside the house!
He had a little difficulty separating at the open house last week when the parents went across the hall for a meeting and the kids stayed to play, so I was trying to be really, really upbeat this morning to keep him from getting nervous.
We’d talked and talked and talked about how fun school was going to be, so I thought it might be a little counterproductive to let him see me bawling (I saved that for when I got back in the house). And I wasn’t the only one with tears (a certain male in the 30-34 age bracket had some moisture in his eyes too)!
Here he is, all excited to get buckled in for the ride to school!
When I got off the bus and waved to him I could tell he was about to cry, but according to one of my spies, he’d recovered just fine by the time they got to school.
When he got home he told me, “I loved playing at the park! I held onto the rope!” (which is what they use for crossing the street to get to the park).
I can’t believe he’s this old, and I can’t believe how quickly time goes by, but I also feel lots of joy and hope for this new step.
YAY for Morrow!
welp. this is mainly making me cry.
I know!!!! I could’ve posted a full-out sappy post about this. When I came back in the house I could hardly breathe.
Hard to believe he is a pre-schooler! Another male in the 35-39 age bracket was quite choked up on the first day of Kindergarten and first grade this fall…you can pass that on to the mystery man in your post:)
Love this…Way to go Morrow!
I don’t believe it gets any easier the more times you do it either. Natalie (our third) was so very ready to go, so I thought I’d be okay. I still wasn’t.
I love the backpack; glad to see Thomas is still around :-)
Well I could cry just because he is so darn cute!
I cried. :] Morrow is just so special. I don’t know what it is about him… what a blessing! Way to go, kiddo!!
its already starting to get cold in MN? p.s. Go morrow!
He looks so much like his Daddy.
This takes my breath away. Morrow and Samuel are only a month apart.
