First day of Pre-K

 

Three weeks ago Jack qualified for a pre-k program through the alpine school district, Monday was his first day of class. He will go Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:20-3:30, and he gets to ride the bus. The bus comes to our door to pick him up and drop him off, which is a huge help! He loves school, and it is a LOT quieter at home without him.

Aaron gave him a blessing Monday morning, it was such a sweet blessing, and of course I cried. Luckily I cried enough that morning, that I did not cry when I dropped him off for his first day. He loved school so much, that this morning, when he was angry, he yelled "I don't like being at home, I only like school." What a toot! It has been a little bit of an adjustment for West, he walks around the house asking for Jack, but he also likes the one on one attention that it gives him.

 

West also started a transition class today. It is every Wednesday from 11:30 till 1. This gives him a chance to play with other kids, while I am not there. He has had a very hard time lately when I leave his line of vision. He cries and cries during nursery, and follows me around the house like a sad little puppy dog. I must say it was so nice today having Jack and West at school. It was just this cutie: 


and I, for about an hour and a half. The house was so quiet, and no one was crying or fighting, it was AMAZING!!!

She is adorable. Wow that is crazy that Jack has started a Pre-K, but so wonderful that he is loving it. I hope that the class for West goes really well.

Oh mt goodness, I am dying over Alexis, she is just the cutest thing. I love her sweet, half smile. And Jack and West and their huge grins, they are just so happy. I'm glad you're getting some time to yourself and Jack is loving school. I hope West adjusts easily to the new class.

Alexis is a DOLL - what a peaceful kid! You can just tell from the pictures. I love it. Your boys are growing up so quickly... I'm sure you are happy/sad about the whole school thing. Ah the life of a mom!
