We had a rather momentous occasion recently, although it's nearly been 2 months ago now. Our second born started his first day of formal schooling. That's right, the little man started preschool!
The first week was a little rough each morning. He really enjoyed school and was always very positive about it when I picked him up. He even made confident plans each morning before we left home about how I could just give him a hug and then go. But each morning of the first week went the same way. He got cold feet just as we entered the room and then cried when it was time for me to go. Although the crying did work it's way down to whimper by Friday.
Then suddenly the second week, everything clicked. No more tears just excitement about heading off to school with his new friends. Actually, he likes school so much that when the first couple of Saturdays came he was genuinely disappointed that couldn't go to school.
We are all SO pleased with how he's doing and of course with how well he enjoys school. We're also very pleased with his teacher. She is a very kind and gentle lady with a fun and pleasant personality. Pretty much the ideal preschool teacher. :) And she's a great fit for our little man.

I wondered if he'd started this fall. I'm glad he's enjoying school now! I hope you're enjoying your time alone with #3 :-)
nHe looks so tall! Is preschool everyday? Your pictures on the side of your blog have been updated and what a change! (Great photography too). I bet it is getting quiet around your house, at least in the morning!
Oh how I love his smile--from ear to ear!
Yes, he goes each day, but is home before lunch. And he continues to LOVE it. It's such a blessing. #3 is getting used to being alone in the mornings. He doesn't freak out like he did the first month. Now he only asks me about 2 times each morning where everyone is. :)
