b goes to pre-school

b started pre-school today. just once a week. . . but omg you would have thought i was leaving him forever. he was so excited at the idea of going to school, packing his lunch, playing with new toys, going with kam, but when it came right down to it, i don't think he realized i wouldn't be staying with him! he was holding onto me like a little monkey . . . and wouldn't let go. he was screaming for a good ten minutes . . . i was crying outside his classroom. it was NOT a fun morning. but his teachers called and assured me he was having a good day. he was thrilled to see me when i picked him up and talked about playing and painting.
not sure i am cut out for pre-school at two! we are going to give it a month to see how it goes. . .

kam's first day of pre-school!

kam's first day of pre-school was AMAZING! she was sooooo excited! she woke up with a huge smile on her face and couldn't wait to head out! :) she told me as we were about to pull up to the school, " mom, you know you have to drop me off!" i told her i was going to stay and hang out with her . . . she said, "NO! you can't you have to drop me off and go home!". she was ready for some independent time i guess! :) she hung her bag up, put up her lunchbox and went straight to the rice table. . . no tears, no sadness, she was just happy! :) i felt sooooo good leaving her there. her teachers are sweet and so attentive and have lots of great things for the kids to do! so, b.c. and i headed home . . . just the two of us! it was a weird feeling!

i couldn't wait to pick kam up to hear about her day . . . she couldn't wait to tell me her "five things" just like the big girls! :) she got an sweet note from her teachers and an amazing summary of her day! she did LOTS of art projects that we'll get to bring home next week! :) she can't wait to go back . . . i am so happy for her! :)

after we picked the big girls up we went to mc d's for a first day or pre-school ice cream! :) what a great day! :)

kam's meet the teacher day!

sweet kam went to pre-school to meet her teachers this morning . . . she really was excited . . . just not into smiling today! :) she did so well . . . actually talking to them and telling her name. she instantly felt at home . . . so did b.c.! neither of them wanted to leave . . . there was a cool rice pit to dig in, paint, play dough, dress up, kitchen . . . everything the kids love to play with! :) it is going to be a great day for kam each week . . . and a good transition for both of us! :) i cannot wait to see how well she does! :) she can't wait to "be big and go to school like my sisters . . . but i am still a baby!" :) love that girl!
