Jack's first day of school.
Aug. 26th, 2005 01:40 pmThis morning was Jack's first day of Preschool. He's in the 4-year old class this year, and he'll be participating in a cap-and-gown graduation ceremony at the end of the year. *sniffle*
He was excited for school. It's been hard for him these past 9 days watching A.J. go off to school each day, knowing that he'd be going to school soon but that it just hadn't started yet.
And of course, we took a 'First Day of School' picture:

(And another pic, if you are so inclined...)
He walked up to the front door, opened it (with some difficulty - it *is* a heavy door) and went through the entryway and into the classroom. He knew already where to hang his backpack, so he did that and was then off to the tables. The kids were playing with Play-doh® until time to begin, and it was so good to see so many familiar little faces again. The class is made up about half-and-half: half of last year's class, and half 'new' students.
Jack picked a seat next to
Janiece's son David (of course!), and the two of them never cared a whit about either of us leaving. I took a few more pictures and then went out of the classroom and back into the entryway to wait for Ann and
Jamie to arrive with their kiddos. It felt so good to be completely back into the school year again!
After dropping Jack off, I went up to the T!LC offices to fill out a 'Building Use' form to get this year's scrapbooking group going again. I still have to write up a small notice to appear in the Messenger (church programs on Sundays) and in the monthly newsletter, and I'll just email that to Kerri early next week. I bought a book of devotions two weeks ago to use in our scrapbooking sessions (to be allowed to use the church's daycare facilities, our group needs to have a Christian foundation or fellowship of some sort - scrapbooking alone doesn't quite cut it). I'm excited to get this going again, and it already seems that there is so much new interest for the group!
I'm having leftover chicken soup for lunch, and then I think I'm going to lay down for a short snoozle before picking A.J. up from school. *yawns*
