First Day of Preschool

Last night, we read our stack of preschool books one final time to prepare you for the morning. You eagerly talked about Ms. Lynn and Ms. Kasey and what the day would hold. As soon as you fell asleep, Daddy and I got to work, decorating the house to help make the day feel special for you both.

This morning, we were ready for you to wake up, but of course, this was the day you decided to sleep in! Finally, around 7:50 we heard the knocks on the door from inside your bedroom. Together we sprinted upstairs and were greeted with happy, sleepy faces! The "woohoos" and arms straight in the air of celebration of preschool beginning was priceless. You boys made your way downstairs where pancakes shaped like a 2 and a P were waiting for you (2 year old preschool!).

 

After a calm morning of getting ready, it was finally time to head off to school. Check-in procedure all went smoothly. As we approached your classroom door, you shouted, "My class! Balloons!" (the door was decorated with an archway of balloons). You were ready to sprint into class, as we had to call you back to give you just one kiss. As soon as those kisses were received, you bounced into class, began hanging up your backpacks, and didn't look back!

 

It was such a devastatingly, proud moment! We've been pumping up preschool in hopes that you'd love it. We talked about all you should expect and warned you that Mommy and Daddy would be leaving, in hopes to avoid tears when we left. And it clearly worked. You didn't hesitate for a moment, as Mommy's heart broke just a little, realizing you didn't need me anymore. I couldn't be more proud of you boys though and know this is going to be such an incredible experience for you.
