Luke's first day of preschool!

Luke had his first day of preschool today!! Oh my goodness, he was just too cute about the whole idea. In the weeks leading up I was preparing Luke for the idea; letting him know he would meet his teacher, play on a playground with big kids and make new friends. Finally that day arrived and Luke was more then ready for the big day. Before heading on the road he was a little upset that we couldn't bring Kate along. He kept saying, "Bring Kate, bring Kate." I thought he was going to cry about it. When we got to the school and he stepped foot in the classroom, he immediately dropped his book-bag to the floor and ran straight for the toys. It was harder for me to leave him then it was for him!

I tried not to think too much about what I was doing and only got teary eyed. As I drove away I panicked, realizing this was the first time I've left him somewhere that I couldn't get to him easily {or I wasn't in the room next to him}. It was a very scary feeling which then quickly turned into comfort realizing he was with staff that would love on him and show him God's love.

Thankfully it was just a two hour day for the tots {I think they intended this for parents too}, I was ready to see my baby as soon as I got home from dropping him off! When I got to his classroom their was no Luke in sight {wasn't too worried because I saw him in the classroom next door}. The teacher informed me Luke was just a little too old for the "younger 2's" class and was bumped up to "younger 3's." Luke's birthday falls right in the middle of the transition point and I had a feeling he was a little young for that class too. So I saw him finishing up with finger paint. He was so happy. It took us a few minutes to leave his classroom because he wanted to wear his backpack out and he refused to let Mommy help him put it on. So it took a little time but he got it on all by himself. He already wants to be a big boy after just one day of school!

We are so happy Luke gets the opportunity to go to preschool and interact and socialize with other kids. He is a very social and outgoing little guy. Thanks Grammy and Pa-Pa for the full-ride scholarship;). Luke is very happy:).
