First Day of Preschool

Ethan had his first day at his new preschool on Tuesday. It was all pretty uneventful. I took him alone since Mondo had to work. I was worried he would be upset when it was time to drop him off in his new class. The teachers want the kids dropped at the door and for the parents not to go in and disrupt the mood. I told him he had to give me my hug and kiss before he went in so he did. Then we put up his backpack outside and I told him to tell me bye because I was leaving. So he said "bye" and walked in and sat at his table. I thought..."That's it? No screaming, no tears, no clinging to me?" Nope. I guess he is older this year and remembers that school was fun. The bad thing about this new school is that it goes from 9-12. Last year he went from 9-2. It sure is a short 3 hours. I enjoyed to quiet time with Caleb. We napped together for an hour when we got home from taking him to school. When we woke up it was almost time to get him. Mondo went with me to pick him up. We asked him how his day was and what he did. First he said what he always says "I don't want to talk." Then he said, "We sat forever, we played basketball, and we played toys." I asked him if he made any new friends and he said yes "Will and Tyler". Those have been his friends since birth...they are just new to his school. So, it's back to getting up and out of the house at a reasonable time every Tuesday/Thursday. Enjoy the pics.

He actually felt like posing.
I was shocked at his good mood for the photo ops!
This is his Kung Fu Panda packpack I ordered online. Of course the backpack he wanted was not available in stores!
Just being silly.
Caleb wanted in the pictures too.

This was on his way into school.

This was after school.

See how thrilled Caleb was to go pick up his brother from school? (Yes, that's his spit on my shoulder...he constantly chews/sucks on my shoulder.)

This was after school...happy to go home!
