First Day of School

Dillon did great on his first day of school. When we got there he didn't want to go into school because he wanted to play on the play ground. Once we finally got into the school he knew exactly what to do: get name tag, wash hands and then play! I stayed for about a half hour just watching him to see how he reacted to all the new kids (there were only three out of 13 that he'd had in class before). He didn't care at all and just wanted to explore. When I told him I was leaving he said he wanted to come with me, but when I told him I'd be back after snack and he should play he said OK. I was fine til I got to the car and then I got a little misty eyed. It was strange actually leaving him. I knew he would be fine since nothing really seems to both him and he loves people.

When I went to pick him up all the kids were playing on the play ground. When he finally noticed me he said "Hi, mommy" very happily and then went on playing. His teachers said he did great. He really wanted to play outside most of class time but he finally understood that he'd get to after snack. I was also a little worried about how he'd act during circle time since the change from playing to paying attention was a bit hard for him last year. But he did great. He really didn't want to go home when it was time and the teacher had to help him to the gate, so I know he likes school. The next morning he got up and asked to get dressed to go to school. He's so cute!!

First day of school picture. Didn't he look happy to have his picture taken? I remember have many of these pictures taken on mom's deck and not always being to happy about it. Guess every kid is the same!

Before school started, he was ready to play.

Play house with the other kids.

Riding the horse after class.

After school we went to my parents because dad was having some work done and a digger was going to be there. Dillon was very impressed.
