First day of Preschool

We had a big milestone this week - Owen's first day of Preschool! We decided to enroll Owen in the community preschool that our church runs. He'll be going one day a week from 9-12. We were all really nervous and excited about it. How could it be time to send him to school ALREADY?! He's been with us all day every day for 2 years!! The day went better than we expected in some ways and much harder in other ways. The drop-off went great - no tears from any of us! The hardest part was picking him up - he just seemed sort of out of it. He has told us bits and pieces from the day - seems that it was ok except for an incident with a little boy named Matthew. All we can gather from Owen is this: "Big toy...Owen push Up, Matthew push down, Owen push up, Matthew push down, Owen say No No." Needless to say, it's hard to tell if Owen or Michael were in the wrong. Owen seemed a little distressed by it all. We'll see how week 2 goes.

Our sweet Owen.



One last check out the back door.
