Rex had his first day of preschool today- sort of. It was what they call their "Glimpses" day and was more of an orientation day. We did the whole photo shoot though.
First at home-
Then at school-
You may notice his hand is a little blurry in that photo because he was so excited to get inside and was waving at me to hurry up. Did I mention he was excited?? Rob stayed home to watch Wyatt so that I could go with Rex (parent attendance required- not just being a total mama bear). We were there for about 45 minutes and did a little scavenger hunt around the classroom and the school so that he could learn where the bathrooms are, where his backpack goes, where the playground and gym is and things like that. I followed him around like mommy paparazzi.
He goes to school 4 mornings a week for 3 hours a day- a nice little introduction to school, schedules and the like. Things we don't have in our daily routine so far. It is pretty exciting for me too although I am having a hard time with it too (just a little bit). It is really tough to drop him off somewhere and trust other people with my child. He's been at home with me nearly every single day of the 4+ years since he was born. I can't believe it is time for this already! I know he is going to have a great time making lots of new friends and learning new things. And I am looking forward to having more one-on-one time with Wyatt and being able to go grocery shopping with just one child again. So even though I am struggling with it a bit, I think it will be a great thing for all of us. His first real, full day is on Thursday so I can't wait to see how that goes!
