Last Tuesday, a week ago today (slacker mom!), Brady and Aiden started preschool for the year. Brady is in 3’s preschool and Aiden is in Pre-K. They are both attending our church’s preschool which has been, thus far, so wonderful! Both of them are having a great time. Brady goes T/Th and Aiden goes M-Th…which means they are there, in the building together, 2 days a week. It’s awesome because the first thing they do is go outside for playtime, all classes combined. I think it’s wonderful for them to start their day together. Their teachers are AWESOME! Brady’s teacher is super duper sweet, gets down to his level, talks in a very kind voice (totally what he needs) and is fun and creative. For their first day, she was dressed as a cowboy. They made these ride-on horses out of wrapping paper tubes and horse heads and then stamped bandanas – so fun! Long story, but Brady’s class time wasn’t published on the website like the other class times. I only found out that they have his class in the PM via a call to the church. I guess there weren’t many other families who called because he has only 2 other kids…both boys, in his class. They decided to combine his class and a 4-year-old class (not Aiden’s because he’s pre-kindergarten….4’s and 5’s) for some activities and then split them for others. They call the three little 3-year-olds “the cowboys” because they travel from room to room. Ahhhhhh – too stinkin cute!!!!!!

Daddy worked from the area the first day of preschool and was able to take pictures and help drive them to drop off. I HAVE to video tape Aiden’s recount of his first day. They learned about when God created the world. He told me that, “on the first day…God created the dark and the light. But, he didn’t create lizards until like the 5th day. After he created all the stuff on the first day, he looked around and said….that’s goooooood!!!” Oh my…the way he said “good” was HYSTERICAL!! Later in the week, he told me that after God had created everything he was tired and needed a little rest…that was on the 7th day. I’m impressed at his memory, but totally enjoy his re-telling because he cracks me up!

Here are pics of the first day!

 

Had to do the same “candles in the pancakes” that we did for Logan. Happy first day of preschool!!!

Ready to go!

 

I love these kid-sized backpacks!!

The boys were so excited, they crawled around the car while we waited in line at drop off.

That’s Brady’s teacher – dressed as a cowboy!

 

Here are the cards I made for their first day. Each one said something about standing out in a crowd….school…fish…school of fish….you get the picture
