First Day of Preschool 2009

Today was a success! Justin did really well getting off to his first day of preschool. He was tired when he woke-up (two-hours earlier than normal summer-time schedule). He was excited to go into his classroom. Justin was a little confused when we went into the other preschool classroom upon arrival. He thought we would go into his "normal" classroom first and was a little upset by this. Not long after entering the new classroom he was off and playing. Once he realized that we had left the room he became very upset. The tears didn't last too long. Jay and I left there for work once we knew he was calmed down. His day was pretty busy. I called to check on him and at that time he was playing on the computer. When I arrived to pick him up he was very excited and screamed to the classroom "mommy!" I talked with the teacher a bit about his day. He did well. She said that he was a little sad when there was "down" time like stories but loved to play outside and at the sand table. He ate most of his lunch and took a short nap but was quiet the rest of the nap/quiet time.

Justin even had a gift for me! He managed to put into his backpack a foam letter "S". He wanted me to have it really bad, little did he know that those aren't to be removed from the classroom. Justin kept asking me if, "I loved it," meaning the gift of the letter "S". I asked the teacher about it and she commented that those letters actually belong to the "letter station"....ha!

I hope tomorrow gets better instead of worse - now that he know what "preschool" is. He said he wanted to come back, so we will see.
