Next Thing We Know, We'll Be Sending Him Off to College!!!

Jack started preschool last week (sniff, sniff, sniff). Mommy and Daddy were so worried about whether or not Jack is too young and how he would handle 2 FULL days a week at school. On top of that, Mommy and Daddy were very sad that their sweet little boy was old enough to even be going to preschool! Mommy insisted on getting a picture before leaving for school.

At the teacher's suggestion, Mommy decided to pick Jack up after lunch on the first day and ease him into going for a full day. The teacher said that it usually takes kids a few weeks to adjust. So Mommy and Daddy quietly snuck out of the room when Jack wasn't looking (mostly because they had just seen another little boy throw a HUGE crying fit when his Daddy dropped him off) and agreed that Mommy would come back at 12:30pm. When Mommy came back, all 3 teachers said Jack did great and that he was DEFINITELY ready to go for a full day! He never cried or asked for Mommy once (Mommy thinks he could have at least pretended a little bit that he missed her) and he had a blast. He loved everything about preschool and didn't want to leave. Mommy literally had to convince him to leave by telling him that he was coming back next week. To the contrary, the little boy that threw a fit in the morning started crying when I walked in the room and attached himself to my leg, asking if his Mommy was coming too :(

A funny story--when Mommy came to pick Jack up, she arrived a few minutes early so she could watch him in the two-way mirror. The kids were eating lunch and Jack looked so grown up sitting there with the other kids. When lunch was over the teachers told the kids to pick up their plates and put them in the trash. Jack picked his up and walked towards the trash but instantly became distracted by something else and proceeded to dump his entire plate of food on the ground. He just looked at it, said "ut oh" and then put the plate in the trash!
