Today was the day - David's first day of preschool at the Graham Academy! He woke up with some seasonal allergy symptoms: runny nose, watery puffy eyes, etc. On the way to school he had an allergy-related eye-watering episode that he connected to the significance of the day: "Mom, I feel so happy, I am crying." I can only hope that the first day of school always inspires such positive emotion ;)
He did great with the separation, reports that he played with a parachute, the kitchen, and the computers. He hasn't yet been assigned any special jobs like "door-holder," but he is excited about his chance to do that. He had gummy rabbits and soy milk for snack and informs me, "I don't like soy milk very much." Nobody does, David. The only people who drink it are the people that have to ;) He has one friend, Cole, that he knew before school started. (Cole's Dad is an ND grad, too.) He also mentioned 2 more "new friends," Samantha and Sonia. It was a great start to what I expect will be a great year. Congrats, David!
As expected, Michael had a harder time than David this morning. He wanted to stay at David's school with his big brother. See the above pic of their goodbye hug this morning. Sweet brotherly love...
Such a big beautiful school boy!!!! I have real tears of pride!
