First day of School

Yesterday was Daniel's first day of preschool. He was so excited. He loaded up his backpack with his ABC coloring book, crayons, and his Bob the Builder pencil & notebook (and Mama put in an extra pair of underpants, just in case). They had an open house for the kids & their parents. Grandpa stayed at home with Jack & Evan while we went to school. Daniel got to play with the other kids, make an artwork hanger for home and they had a story. His teacher's name is Mrs. Payne. There are three kids from his Sunbeam class at church in his class at school (Charlie, Samantha & Mya), so it wasn't foreign to him. Not that he was going to have problems - he absolutely adores school. I hope he's the same way when he is a teenager! We weren't there for the full three hours (only about an hour and a half) but he didn't seem to mind going home when we did. He gets to stay the full three hours today. I hope Jack doesn't freak out when he doesn't get to stay with Daniel.

It looks like Daniel had fun. Eli also started preschool again. I guess summer is really over isn't it? I admit that I'm glad school started again. It's a nice break for both Eli and I. Heather
