Thomas and his first day of Preschool Good Bye Little Man!

Backpack on! And he's running out the door.....He's so excited for his first day at Hillcrest and to see Teacher Becky. Thomas is going for half days in the afternoons, four times a week. We love Hillcrest and love the teachers and staff there.




He is still trying to figure out the backpack thing and usually ends up wearing it across his tummy or dragging it.

We arrived at school a little early, we saw one of our friends from last year so we headed in. Posed for a few photos and then walked through the doors as a big school boy for the first time!

He was a little unsure as I said goodbye to him, looking at me strangely as if to say....where are you going? But he was fine and there were no tears!
I peeped around the corner for a few moments to see what he would do, he just waited in the class line, played with his new friends and spoke with the teachers. Nothing like Harry and his first day at preschool, lots of tears!

Thomas is in Harry's old classroom with his old teachers and some of Harry's friends. Teacher Jackie is still there, while Teacher Zeba has moved rooms. There is a new teacher, Teacher Wendy who seems really sweet and I look forward to getting to know her.

I want to do some volunteering in the class this year, now that I will have some free time! Not to mention PTA duties as Co-president!

Thomas is loving school and is fitting in really well. He is sitting for circle time, paying attention to the stories, singing the songs and even listening...OMG! Teacher Becky tell me you secret...lol!

I look forward to blogging more stories of Thomas and his preschool adventures....stay tuned!

Wow, Thomas! He's getting so big....and I can't believe he's off to school already! So glad it's going so well for him.
