First Day of Preschool

 Our plan all along this year was to start Killian in school with the girls in the spring (at the same age that Kayden was when she started montessori).  Well, it has been a crazy year at the school and I was none too impressed with the toddler program.  There is no longer anyone certified in that room to teach montessori and I didn't want to pay for day care when I didn't need it.  I went round and round about what to do and finally decided that he would like to play with some kids his own age (and maybe a few boys!) and that it would be nice for me to actually be able to attend chapel with the girls.  Every Wednesday morning the girls have chapel and Killian thinks he needs to participate and play the piano, help with the altar table, check on the other classes...so I have stopped going.  I love chapel.  I figured the win-win would be to put Killian in two days a week (just in the mornings).

Not so sure about this...

 

I have a picture every year of the girls in front of the bear on the porch on their first day of school.  Killian was way too distracted by the worm on the ground to even look at me so I don't have that picture of him!  We had to move back inside.

Once inside I tried to get a picture of all three but he wasn't having the standing still and smiling nonsense...
  

 

 

 

 

 

BUSY boy!  The first day I stayed in the classroom with him for about an hour.  He clung to me and only cried a little when I left.  He did well while I was gone though, only tearing up at transition times.  When I picked him up he was ready for a hug, a snack, and his sister.  Here he is looking out waiting for Kayden!

Update:  We only left him in preschool for 6 classes because I was not happy with the classroom.  Maybe I'll get a better set of first day photos when we try again!
