I can't believe my baby (at the moment) is old enough for preschool! When did that happen? It seems like Hunter is growing up so much quicker than I ever felt Jacob was. He was really excited for preschool to start. We have been talking about it for months. When he turned 3, he would get to go to preschool (and binky was going bye bye). On Wednesday we went to meet his teacher. He was the first one there, so it was nice for him to have their attention all to himself for a few minutes. He was not shy at all and barely even noticed I was there! I asked him if he would be ok tomorrow when I would leave him there all by himself. He started waving bye to me that moment. I figured he'd be ok! He was really excited to have his cousin, Alek, in class with him. Maybe that has made this a little easier for him. Originally I signed him up for the 3 year old class. His teacher put him in the older class by accident. I called and talked to her about it and she said he was welcome to stay in the older class so he could be with Alek. I decided a few hours to myself 3 days a week didn't sound so bad! Jacob is at school the same time! So we are trying it out. So far, it looks good!
We were in such a rush to get out the door, that I forgot to take pictures of him at home. I was able to snap on in the car on the way over. Jacob's bus picks him up about 5 minutes before Hunter's preschool actually starts, so we will be a little late each day.
Here he is in front of his classroom. Notice his preschool shirt? Jacob has the same one from when he went to preschool here. When he saw Hunter put his on, he decided to wear it to Kindergarten as well. I'm kicking myself for not getting that on camera!!
When all the kids came out of the gate, Hunter walked right by me. He was looking for our car. When he saw it, his face lit up and he said, "Mommy's here!" I had gotten out to take some more pictures.
Hunter and Alek
He told me on the way to school that Alek is his best friend. I thought it was so sweet!
When Jacob got home from school, Hunter was showing him all the things he got from school. Jacob was so excited and kept saying, "I have one of those too!" They played really well afterward and Hunter hasn't had a meltdown in 2 days. It's hard for him when Jacob leaves every day for school. I've noticed it's especially hard for him when we stay home during that time and don't go anywhere. He misses his playmate more when he's not being distracted with errands! Hopefully preschool will help him!
