When we got to school he didn't just have eyes for me, anymore. He was all about the excitement. We live in a neighborhood where moms and dads walk their kids to school, and parents take off work for the first day, with a camera in one hand, and coffee mug in the other. Tons and tons of people were everywhere. It felt like being at an amusement park on a very crowded day, where you can just feel the excitement buzzing around you. I wish I could have better captured Son1's eyes. They got WIDE when he saw the kids. WIDE like humongous dinner plates. WOW-WEE. Kids everywhere...all going the same place. And you mean I get to stay??
You can't believe how many pictures I took between the time we left the car and we got to the classroom. By the time we got to his class he started making silly faces at the camera.

Son1 started the day by writing his name with his teacher. He signs in every day like this. We love his teacher. She is a local children's author. She has taught preschool for 23 years.
Everyone wants to know if Son1 cried. Yes, he did. When I came to pick him up at the end of the day because he just didn't want to come home. And it went on like that for the first few days.

How exciting! Zach is going to be starting pre-school this year as well but not until September 10th - gotta love Virginia!
ReplyDeleteThey grow up so fast don't they? Oh and the more important question is not did Joshua cry but rather did you cry at all?
Pre-school?! How old is he now? Our babies are growing so fast! I would have been crying.
ReplyDeleteNo tears....he did let me leave like someone else had given birth to him...he wouldn't say bye even after a few tries. He was too into preschool. I think the teacher understood my feelings and she asked if I needed a hug and put her arm around me. I stopped at the parent center on the way out. I told them I just wasn't ready to leave the school yet and sat down for some bagels and juice they were handing out.
