Luke starts preschool...

My baby has started school! My baby! Luke could hardly contain his excitement this morning, begging me to take him to school before Kate.☺After a special breakfast with cinnamon rolls and our traditional "first day of school" picture on the porch, we headed to school, dropped Kate off and went over to Luke's class to wait for the 9 am start time. On the first day, half the class comes from 9-10:15 am and the other half comes from 10:30-11:45 am and the parents stay the whole time so today was easy for Mommy. I will make no promises for Wednesday. Today, they had free play, made play dough, and had circle time. Luke had such a good time and even actively participated in the circle time, which kind of surprised me. He wasn't shy or nervous in the least. He and Brooklyn are in the same class and they are very excited about that! Luke wasn't too happy when it was time to go and they hadn't gone outside or had a snack so we had to explain that next time would be a real school day. Now he can't wait for Wednesday.☺

We've never seen this child more excited aside from Christmas morning! 

Once Brooklyn got there, the excitement level doubled! These two were hilarious!

As soon as the door opened, the kids ran into the classroom to see all the fun things they had in store. Luke spent most of the morning playing with the sand and sea shells.

They did take a couple of minutes to check out the dress up area and try on funny sunglasses...

At the parent orientation last week, the teachers had us draw a picture of our child and describe some of their likes so they could better get to know them.

Making homemade play dough with his teacher, Miss Jan, and some other classmates... 

During circle time...

Miss Jan: "Have any of you ever brought a sea shell home from the beach?"

Luke: "I did! I brought a giant shell home and we put it in the throw up bucket with hot water and bleach!"

Everyone thought it was so funny that he called it the "throw up bucket".
