Micah's School Bus

So we had our first homework assignment. I'm not sure if the homework is more for the child or the parent. It seems so far for the parent. I didn't realize I was going back to school. Anyhow, I'm having fun with it! Although, this morning Micah had his first procrastination lesson. During breakfast I realized we had a homework assignment, so we quickly did it over breakfast.

His first assignment was to fill out this school bus with information about him. It was so cute hearing him answer these questions. I didn't even know his favorite color, so it was neat to hear him articulate those things. I think it turned out pretty good, what do you think?

First Day of Preschool

I'm not sure if this journey is a bigger adjustment for Micah or his mommy. We signed Micah up for preschool last February, which seems like years ago! Now that we are finally here, I'm not sure if I am ready. He only goes two days a week, but to be honest it was really hard to leave my baby. As I walked into the classroom for the first time, my eyes got teary! Why? It really caught me off guard and I quickly snapped out of it. But I think the reality that my child is getting older, and is only moving on to more and more independence finally grabbed a hold of me. I'm so glad though because I want to savor every moment. So Monday I was forced to savor it, soaking up every bit, as I watched my child happily join the other boys playing with cars. Without a look back, he joined in the fun. A reassurance to me that we made the right decision and he loved it!

When we went to pick him up, I'm not sure what we would find. A little part of me wanted him to have had a really hard day because he missed his mommy so much! But as we opened the door, my little boy's face lit up and jumped in my arms. A moment I will treasure. He was so excited and told me all about his day! How they played outside, learned a weather song, painted, and ate their snacks. We treated him to lunch of his choice (mexican) to celebrate his first day. We are so proud of him and know he will have so much fun at school!
