1st Day of Preschool

Today was Ethan's first day of Pre-K 1.  He has been counting down the number of  'sleeps' until school since last week.  We had his clothes laid out last night, his backpack ready, and his 'wrapper' (aka: folder, I'm not sure where wrapper came from) with his name on it in the backpack.  He was ready to leave the house an hour before it was time.  Needless to say...he was excited!

Such a big kid with his backpack!

We went to orientation last week, so he knew where we were going and what it looked like.  His first task when getting to school, is washing his hands.  And then he is to find his name on one wall and take it to another wall to match it to his name over there.  He did great.  Jared met us there so he could see him for his first day also.  When we told him it was time for us to go, he didn't want us to leave...for about 3 seconds, and then was fine!

A few snapshots of our big pre-schooler!  

When I picked him up, he told me he had a great time.  His favorite thing was playing in the kitchen.  They learned about the letter "A", painted (without a paint brush!), played outside, had snack, played at the rice table and colored.  To celebrate his first day of school, I let him pick where we would have lunch and he chose McDonald's.  Jared met us there for a quick lunch and then Ethan played in the playplace.  It turned out that there were 2 other kids there from his class, so it was nice that he had someone to play with.  He will be going to school on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, so I'll be sure to keep the happenings updated :)!
