Sam's backpack complete with George tag that mommy made for him so he could pick out his own bag and and wouldn't miss his George too much (since he can't take him to school with him)
Daddy is helping Sam finish getting ready for school
Sam reads his book about going to school and riding the bus that his teachers made for him and brought over to the house the day before he started classes.
He waits patiently for the bus to arrive.
Getting home from school. On Tuesday Sam started Preschool. We were all very excited for the news that he was going to be able to go. It had been a long process of evaluations and paperwork to determine if he was eligable to go since he is younger than the normal age that the school system takes. We are blessed that he is going to the Jessamine Early Learning Village and has amazing teachers to help him develop his skills. He goes to school from Tuesday-Friday in the afternoon. He's also riding the bus and loving it.
His first day taking hime out to the bus was hard. He was excited but at the same time I think he was a little scared about riding the bus and mommy not going with him. He cried and so did I. In the end though he did great on the bus and at school and I've not gotten any phone calls or notes about how poor his behavior has been. In fact on his second day he waved goodbye to me as he got on the bus and his teacher wrote a note that he was all smiles when he got to school.
My little man is growing up. Since he started school on Tuesday his whole attitude has been different. He seems very happy and he talks non-stop about his teachers, his new friends, and the things they have been doing in school. I'm so glad to see him happy and I know it was the right decision for him to start school now. :)
