First Day of Preschool

Our little guy is growing up.

For someone that really didn't want to graduate to the 4 year old preschool class and seemed to dread it all summer long, he was really excited once the actual day came. And this is coming from the kid that didn't want to turn 4 either. After we beat that obstacle and he realized that 4 really isn't all that bad (especially if said 4 year old has a new fire suit that fits him --thanks Grandma Heidi!) there didn't seem to be a concern about graduating to the 4 year old class. These pictures are a true reflection on how he felt about going!

And I'm happy to report that each morning since he's excitedly asked, "is it a pre-school day?" It's a good feeling to know he loves school so much.

Homework!

Dane had his first homework assignment! Well, technically it was what he didn't do in class because mommy let him stay home from school to have a Mommy Day. (It was the day after I got home from Anchorage and I wanted some more Dane time!) He had to trace around the dinosaur, cut it out and then color the dots. I couldn't resist capturing this! I imagine homework time won't always be this sweet and fun, so I want to be sure to appreciate it now. :)
