Preschool Preview Day

On Friday Sept. 4 CJ and Brian had a preview day at their school. They got to have an hour to check out their classroom and meet the teachers. CJ and Brian both knew what to expect from the classroom and the teachers, what they were excited about was meeting all the new kids and playing with returning friends! CJ was in the class last year. Brian was not, but he went to every party and field trips. He watched for a year from the windows as they did show and tell and circle time. He knew the drill, and all the returning kids. When we got to the school they were so happy to see all their friends. Watching Brian finally get to fully join the class was awesome. His face was pure joy. After we were there for a few minutes I sat down next to Brian at the Play Doh table and asked if I could play. He said, "NO. You go, I stay. That's what you do. I go to school now and you leave and wait outside for me later." No abandonment issues there! So, CJ and I played instead. They met their new principal, Mr. Hettinga. The preschool is at an Elementary School, so it's a real public school, with the rules and grades, but still fun like a preschool should be. The pictures are kind of blurring because my children were seriously moving that fast! They were a little excited.

First walk to school of the new year! How cute are they? How corny am I that I bought backpacks with their names on them?
