J's First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was J's first day of preschool. It was so nice and helpful that he had already met his teacher on Tuesday. He was looking forward to seeing her again. As soon as we got there, he went to his seat and started on his "assignment." Every morning when they get to school, before they begin to play, they are to go to their seat and work on their name. The teacher has a lamented sheet for them to trace the letters of their name...J did a great job! He has already been practicing this, and his teacher was very impressed. She said at this age, most times, the girls will sit down and try to trace their names, but the boys just scribble. Oh, our sweet over-achiever!

Here is a picture of his handy work. You can see in the second picture, he even showed his teacher how he can write the letters in his name freehand.

When I picked him up, he said he had a great day and that there were not any mean kids in his class. :) He couldn't remember any of their names yet, but with 6 other boys and 5 girls, it may take him a couple of weeks to get to know everybody. So far, his favorite part of the day is playing on the playground, but he did tell us a very long and excited story about marching around in his classroom and pretending to stomp on spiders and wiggling all over. We're not sure what that's all about, but it sure was great to see him so excited!!!!

P.S. Mommy used her first "free" day to go get a haircut - first time since mid-May. Yikes. L was an angel and SLEPT the whole time in his car seat. We are hoping (knock on wood) that he is getting over his dislike of being in that thing. At least he gave me one hour of pampering!!!!
