Preschool on the Creek

Ryan started his first day of 2 yr old Preschool today at the Church on Rush Creek. He will be attending Tues/Thurs 9am-2:30pm. His teacher is Mrs. Janis and the helper is Mrs. Kristin. We are looking forward to a really fun year. I am happy to have at least the first day of school "kid free" and am trying to get caught up on things around the house (including blogging). Later, I plan to get out and do some shopping. After this week, this will be my "Ethan only" time as I recover from delivery and learn more about my newest little boy.

Ryan was very excited this morning about preschool and wanted to carry all of his things inside (and in the car on the way there). He saw one child before him crying as she went in and seemed a little hesitant for a moment, but Janis and I stayed happy and I told him how much fun he was going to have. I gave him a kiss and he waved and smiled and went right in. I can't tell you how big of a change this is for him just as of 5-6 months ago. He is growing up so fast and getting to be such a big boy. I'm so proud of him!

It is hard for me to imagine 5.5 hrs without him twice a week as he's never been away from me at a childcare type thing for more than 2 hrs his whole life and I usually have a commitment (aka church, mops meeting, etc) during that set time frame unlike right now. He has of course done overnights with my parents and had his other grandparents and one sitter watch him for a few hours. I know he will do great and just hope he obeys his teachers and asks to go potty when he needs to. He was already telling me this morning how he was going to "share with his new friends today". Let's hope this is true! ;)

Here are some photos from the first day of school!
