~Off to School! Off to School!~

Friday was Alec's first day of pre-preschool. (joy school)
He was so excited! We picked out his clothes the night before and he even got his little backpack ready with his Lightening McQueen car for show and tell, sippy cup, and spare undies (yes, we're still having the occasional accident).
Alec is lucky enough to have four little guy friends that are all only a few months apart in age. They play together all the time at play dates, playgroups, and mommy gatherings, but we decided that they're getting old enough that they could use some structured play time too. So we decided to do our own little pre-preschool. Each week a different mom is the teacher, and boy, Alec was sure excited that Miss Robyn got to be his teacher last Friday!

We've worked it out so when we are teaching someone else takes your younger little one, but at least once in the rotation you have a day when you only have your own little lady or gent. This time it happened to be my turn to have Lyssa all to myself. She was concerned when we left Alec at Miss Robyn's house, but had fun being my little helper and happy shadow for an hour.

When we arrived to pick Alec up Lyssa was soooo excited to see him and he was happy to see us. He had a great first day of pre-preschool and can't wait until he gets to go again next week!

The boys did so well--one of my smoothest first days of school ever (and I've had quite a few!).

Alec did great. I'm so proud of all of them.

Oh my word he looks so big!!

What a great idea to do with your friends... again, another idea I'll probably copy some day. ( ;

What would I do without all your great ideas??

It's crazy how fast he is growing up.
