Our little school boy

Today was Z's first day of preschool. He will attend 2 days a week in the mornings. It is a great way for him to interact with other kids, learn lots of new stuff, and learn to follow the rules from someone other than his parents. This morning he was so excited to go to school. He carried his new lunch box around the house until we left. He kept saying "it's HEAVY, mom". Here are some photos before his first day. I tried to get a picture of him in his class but he was too busy playing.

Look in the background...Z is playing. He ran right in there and played.


It was funny once I dropped him off I almost did not know what to do with myself. I am so used to having a little 3 ft shadow with me. I ran several errands, hit Kohls to purchase new towels, had lunch with Mel, and then went to the grocery store. I got more things done in 3 hours than I would get done in one week with Z. I did miss the little guy but felt rejuvenated & happy when I picked him up. It is good for a mommy to have a break every now and then.

When I returned to pick him up he started to cry. He did not want to leave. He saw the "Car line Drive-thru pick up kids" walking outside and he wanted to go with them. He thought they were going outside to play. He did not want his mommy to pick him up and take him home. I am thrilled he had a great day. His teachers said he was the only one in that class that did not cry all morning. Yeah Zachary! We are proud of you.
