The first day of preschool!!! Wahoo! Jacob was excited to start school, however was NOT excited about me trying to take pictures of him. (And you’ll have to indulge me a bit – most of this is for Eric as I can only email him about 2 pictures at a time – much easier to just get it all into one blog post!)
 |
| Packing his backpack! |
 |
| Immediately following this shot, he told me not to take anymore pictures. Get used to it Bubba! It’s my right as your Mama! |
 |
| This was his “First Day of School” shot. Neat. And so Jacob! LOL! |
 |
| He was definitely more into playing with rocks and “ignoring” me until it was time to go. |
 |
| I was a bit nervous (shocking, I know!) just hoping he would do well and have fun. But I was having a decent hair day so that helped! 🙂 |
 |
| The class is decorated adorably! |
 |
| Jake spotted some cars and a track right away and was hooked! |
 |
| Mixin’ it up in the “sand” box (it’s actually rice!) |
 |
| This little boy to the left is also named Jake. He will go by Jake and my son will go by Jacob in class. I chatted with his mom and come to find out – our Jakes were wearing the same jeans and same navy blue polo shirts!! It was a crack up! And on top of that – we discovered that we actually knew each other from when I was in the high school youth group at Church! Small World! |
 |
| They have this cool loft with pillows and soft quilts and a book shelf for when you just “need some quiet time”! It made me want to go back to school! I can smell the fresh notebook paper and school supplies now…..ahhhhh Okay, maybe that’s just me. I still have a weird affinity for office supply products. |
 |
| Story time! |
 |
| Jacob listened so well! And when Teacher Barb asked questions, he piped right up and answered….had me in stitches – I think he thought she was talking solely to him! What a riot! |
 |
| He kept inching closer and closer. |
 |
| …then had to be told to sit down so others could see. HA! So funny! |
 |
| LINE UP!! (I noticed he cut a few times!) |
 |
| And of course they have a little playground area that is 3/4 covered so even on cloudy/rainy days, the kids can get some fresh air! |
 |
| It is set up so well! I can’t wait for Hannah to start next fall! |
 |
| And Jacob’s favorite! It was a ‘sand’ pit with a digger and a ton of dump trucks and excavators and all things CONSTRUCTION!!! |
 |
| Lining up again to go back in…. |
 |
| And at the end of each day they say a prayer! It was adorable! Â These teachers are AMAZING and so gifted at what they do. |
 |
| And he crashed after lunch! Poor guy! It was a BIG day! |
