First Day of School

Well, we survived the summer and the boys are back to school.

Tyson is loving first grade. When I picked him up after his first day the first words out of his mouth were:

"Three recesses!"

He then proceeded to tell me all about the wonders of school lunch.

He loves his teacher. And he just got 100% on his first spelling test.

I have a feeling it's going to be a great year.

Preston missed the cut-off for pre-school by four weeks. I was a little sad for him because I knew he was going to miss his brother terribly. And I knew how well he would do in a pre-school setting. You can only imagine my joy when I got a flyer on my door about a new pre-school in the area with a 2.5 -3 year old class! Preston was so excited when I told him all about it.

He didn't want to leave the day we visited the school and met his teacher. While most of the other kids were hesitant to leave their mother's side the first day of school, Preston eagerly ran in the door without a second glance. He's such a big kid and I'm so proud of him.

His school is only an hour long, twice a week, so it's hardly a break for me, but it's perfect for him.
