Pre-K

As I’m sure you all know by now, today was our first day AT Pre-K.  We dropped Eve off at daycare and then Alan, Lex and I went and spent an hour in his classroom.  We met the teacher and two assistants, the other parents, and his classmates.  He was THRILLED! He woke up happy and got himself ready and we got out the door with no fussing or crying.  Eve was a little confused when he said goodbye to her at daycare and she seemed a little upset when he didn’t come in with us, but she didn’t fuss much.  The whole way to school Lex was talking about excited he was and it lasted all the way until we rounded the corner in the hall and saw his classroom.  Then he stopped short and snuggled into Alan.  After a few minutes I told him that I was going to go in and find the daily schedule (in the car he had promised to show it to me).  Upon hearing that he jumped up and said, “I’ll show you mom!” and in we went.  He showed me the schedule and quickly found some big wooden trucks and was a very happy camper from there.  We learned about the activities they do, got some paperwork, and socialized for awhile.  It was really nice.  Then we took him to daycare and he cried at the door, saying he was too tired and just wanted to go home and take a nap (it was 10:30am).  His daycare teacher asked if he wanted to sit down and read some books by himself and that did the trick.  When I picked them up today he was happy and bouncing.  Seriously happy.  Overly happy!  I’m hoping that he holds on to that enthusiam for the next few weeks :)  He even went to bed happy and talking about going to school tomorrow.  Whewh!  One half day down, many full days to go!
