James had his first day of preschool today. With all the craziness of a new baby I didn't get a hold of the teacher in time for the first day on Tuesday, but from now on he'll be going every Tuesday and Thursday AM.
When I dropped him off he just took his jacket off and started playing. After a couple of minutes I said, "OK dude, I'm leaving." He looked up and said, "OK bye." He couldn't have cared less. I was heartbroken. It was definitely easier for him than for me. I got a little teary-eyed driving away with just Addie in the car.
When I picked him up the first thing he said was, "I love my school." He said he played cars with a girl (he couldn't remember any names). He had cheese sticks and strawberries for snack. They read a story about a duck riding a bike that runs into a bunch of aminals (how Jam says it). He also colored a picture of a cow since a cow was one of the things the duck saw.
After rest he went and found his monkey backpack and was ready to go back to school. I told him he couldn't go back for 4 more days so he spent a good part of the evening filling his backpack with stuff and pretending to go to school. I am so relieved that he liked it. It sounds cheesy, but it seems like Jam was just in the little infant car seat that Addison is now in.
Jam standing by my purple willow tree. He decided that was a good place to take a picture!
James and Mommy happy at the end of preschool.

Our kids are growing up way too fast! James looks like quite the little man ready for school. I'm glad that he loves school. It makes life a little easier knowing that the kids are excited to be there and will do great things! Lauren cannot wait to get to school tomorrow. (She goes M, W, F) Hopefully this love of school continues for the next 18 years! :)
