Parker's First Day

Parker started preschool today! It starts at 12 so I took a half-day so that I could be the one to drop him off. He was so excited when I got home, he was bouncing off the walls! Sophie was excited too. She got to spend the afternoon alone with Mem, painting!

Yes, I am one of THOSE mothers who followed her son into school so I could take pictures! Here he is showing Mrs. Gaurino (sp?) that he wrote his own name on his pencil case. Pencil case! cute! (Thanks for picking that up Grammy!)

Here he is choosing his cubbie...

And one last final goodbye... Just before this picture, I kissed him on the cheek, which he promptly wiped away. Mrs. Frost was laughing that he would wipe it away already! I guess he was fine with me leaving! Phew!

Here are Parker and RJ at the end of the day. Look at the smile on RJ's face. Parker, on the other hand, wasn't as excited. In fact he was rather grumpy and refused to tell me anything except.. "It wasn't what I expected. I wanted to play more."!

Eventually I got him to tell me that he painted, played in a house, and learned the wiggle song! He did tell Todd he had fun at school! I knew he would!
