Preschool

Noah's first day of preschool.
Seeing you with your backpack. Heartwarming. And heartbreaking.
And we made sure to pack your special bear for comfort.
How many fingers do you hold up for preschool? We did 2 because we've got that one down.
Saying bye to to your little buddy.
At your school. Trying to ditch me on the way up. 2 years old and I'm already cramping your style.
Finding your cubbie. And picking off the nametag of whoever was supposed to share a cubbie with you. Our little secret.
Checking out one of your your super cool classrooms.
Reading a book with Ms Peggy.
Hanging with your buddy Michael.
Trying to escape with your cousin.
You didn't just survive your first day, you thrived. Your teacher said you did great. And even though you tried to ditch me on the way in, you made it up with how your face lit up when you saw me there to pick you up. I think my heart grew 10 times today with pride and love for you.
So we celebrated with a little icing on the cupcake.
And then spent naptime doing high jumps in your bed instead of sleeping. We will be finding new celebratory treats before kindergarten.

hmm...I never got cupcakes on my first day. Hey Jess, don't be surprised on my first day of my next quarter if I show up after for a cupcake :-P
