1st day of Preschool

Today was the day...the 1st day of Preschool.

Such a monumental day. My little boys are growing up and now attending school 2 days a week.

The day did not go so smooth. We got out of the house a bit late because the boys were not interested in getting ready. However, due to the rain I let them wear their fire truck raincoat that their Nana got them and that seemed to make things a bit better. Once I carried them to the car because we have the front yard that turns into a lake when it rains we were off to school. However, with the rain, the streets of Norfolk were flooded so it took much longer to get down each street. And then the streets that werent flooded, people were driving slower than molasses out of a glass jar. We finally got to school and in they went. They knew right where to go. At the door of the classroom, the boys just went right in.

I had to ask for a kiss. Then off they went.

And what a great day they had. Their teacher, Ms. Ashley, said they did so many great things today. They played with blocks, puzzles, books and cars until circle time. During circle time they sat very nicely and listened while books were being read. (I am shocked - but that is why they are going to school. To learn to behave and follow directions better.) After stories they went for the first time to Music class with Mrs. Rachel. Then it was snack time and more inside play because the weather was so nasty. Also, the boys did stations where they they choose to color and do the peg board.

It sounds like they had a great first day.
