~First Day of Preschool~

At the beginning of September these two little cuties started preschool.  

On September 6th this little man had his first day.  In all honesty, he wasn't excited.  In fact he told me for a week leading up to school that he was going to hide when it was time to go.  We spent a lot of time talking through his fears, and it was reassuring to him that Mrs. Lynch would be his teacher again and that he already knew some of the kids in his class.  After lots of talking and lots of prayers he actually didn't hide.  Thankfully he came right out to the car.  

I couldn't help but take a trip down memory lane after taking these pictures.  Last year and the year before.

The next day, September 7th, was Elyssa's first day.  She was ecstatic!  I have been hearing about how much she wanted to go to preschool almost constantly for the last year.  She was more than ready and very happy to have your exciting morning documented.

I was amazed watching her walk over to the car, with all sorts of bounce in her step.  She was so confident, even though she knew that she didn't know anyone in her class.  I know I say that Lyssa and I are a lot alike, but when I'm going into a new social situation I never look or feel like that.  She is her own little lady through and through.  

Nick was out of town for all this fun, but that didn't stop us from celebrating.  After Alec's first day he chose to make a stop at the Cupcake Shop again, just like last year.  It was so yummy.  After Lyssa's first day we had lunch at McDonalds... along with about 30 other first day of school preschoolers.  We had a blast and fit right in as they both chatted my ear off about their exciting first days of school.  It made me so very happy.  I love their teachers.  I love their school and I'm so glad they get to have this awesome opportunity to learn and grow this year.
