Tyler's First Day of Preschool

Tyler had his first day of preschool today.  He goes to a friend of mines house and she has about 7 other kids and does a fun preschool there.  He was so excited to go.  We went and visited last week and that made him really excited.  This morning he woke up and wanted to change into his new school cloths first thing and get on his back pack.  He was really excited.  After breakfast and getting ready, we brushed our teeth and headed out the door. 
I talked to him last night and this morning about how Josh and I were just going to go and drop him off and then we would pick him up after school and that seemed to really help when it came time for me to leave him there.  He went right to the door and made him self at home.  His teacher, Teacher Kim as we say, took our picture and we said our goodbyes.  He had no problem with me leaving and did great.
Josh and I went to my moms to hang out and I was hoping for Josh to take a good nap.  Josh played for a while and then he acted tired so I put him down in the pack-n-play I had in the car.  He was not happy with that and cried really hard for about 10 minutes but then finally went to sleep.  While he slept I helped my mom peel tomatoes for a soup she was making.  Josh only slept about 45 minutes and then woke up crying (never a good thing).  So we played a little longer before it was time to pick up Tyler.
I went to the door and Tyler was all ready to go and happy to see me.  He showed me his fun picture he made and said he had a good time.  I was glad that he did well and that he had such a good time.  He really needs time with friends, and learning cool things is totally awesome too.  Since Kim has done this before she knows what to work on and it is nice to know that he is getting that extra knowledge outside the home.  I would like to think that I teach him tons of wonderful things, but I am sure that this is all icing on the cake.  My baby started school...and there is no going back...time goes by too fast my friend...too fast!
