start of preschool

Preschool started this week. Our school year schedule is finally coming into focus.  Here are some pictures and comments on Ewan and Liam's first day.

Liam before his Bumblebee class.  He was excited to go, but reluctant to leave the church nursery, where he had been playing.  He liked his shirt.  He wasn't too excited to go into the classroom.  But, with encouragement, he went right in to work on some puzzles.  His class is full, with 7 students.

 Ewan before his Pre-K class.  The class is also called the "Pickles" class.  He wasn't too excited for me to be taking his picture-too bad.  He was excited to go to class and see some of his classmates from last year.  There are 14 kids in his class.  I have to laugh everytime I see the class lined up to do something.  Bathroom break time has got to take, like, 20 minutes easy.

The boys before going in for the first day of preschool.  Ewan is sporting his new backpack and Liam has a backpack that has made it through 3 years of nursing school, several years of preschool and Cale's kindergarten year.  They each had to bring a stuffed animal-I guess as a comfort object in case they had some seperation issues.  Liam brought his blankie (of course) and Ewan brought his husky dog Webkinz.  They each had a great first day and were tired by the time they got home.  Ewan will go 3 days a week (M/W/F) and Liam will go on M/W.
