Home from preschool

Success! Jacob made it through his first day of preschool! Miss Kathy said he did awesome. He played well with the other kids, he painted his first picture, he had Goldfish and juice for snack, he followed directions and he was a good listener... if only I could get those last 2 things at home more! Jacob and I picked up Taco Bell for lunch, which is what my mom and I would do after my preschool when I was a little girl ... sniff, sniff again :o) ... and heading home to tell daddy and the babies all about his day. We can only hope every day at school will be this easy!

First day of school! First day of school!

Today is Jacob's first day of preschool. We started the school year with a new Lightning McQueen backpack, that looks adorable on his back! Such a big boy now!

This morning we had special "first day of preschool pancakes" shaped like an apple. Then it was time to get dressed and head off to school. He wore his favorite red baseball t-shirt and his firetruck light-up sneakers. I have to admit, my stomach hurt all morning, just with excitment and nervousness for him. It's hard to think that he won't be here, even though it's only 2 mornings a week.

After kisses and hugs for daddy, Megan, Ryan and Dylan it was off to school! When we got to his school, he was a little hesitant... saying "stay in the car, mommy". But once I grabbed his new backpack and said "let's go to school, buddy", he had no problem. I got him signed in, his backpack went in his cubby and off he went to play with toys... sniff, sniff! It's so hard to believe our little Jacob is off to school (even if it is just 2 mornings a week!). He said "bye mommy!" and went to play with some other kids. After I said goodbye about a hundred times, I headed out the door with a stiff upper lip, trying to hold back the tears. I did pretty good, no actual tears, just a little sadness knowing our little buddy is growing up! After leaving the school, I headed to the grocery store by myself (which is always a treat!), got home to Jon giving the triplets a bath (yeah!!) and unloaded my groceries. Now it's already almost time to go pick Jacob up! I have a feeling the time that Jacob is at school is going to fly by! I'll post more later on how the rest of the day went!!
