Ethan's 1st Day of Preschool

Today was Ethan's first day of preschool Actually this is his second year of organized preschool and he was so excited to go. (*side note- I use our blog as a family journal as well. After I write them I print them off to keep. So I know there are a lot of pictures that seem excessive but it is easier for me to do it only once.) This year Ethan goes to preschool with Miss Cathy. Charles and Joey from last years preschool goes with him too.

Our morning started off with Ethan being really excited about preschool. He kept asking me when he could put on his preschool clothes.

Then before Daddy went to work he made Ethan whatever he wanted for breakfast. Ethan wanted pancakes and hot chocolate.

Ethan was so excited to have Daddy make his special breakfast.

After breakfast Ethan dressed himself in his preschool clothes.

Then I had to take some pictures of my handsome little preschooler before we dropped him off.

So excited to go and all ready!

Since we were up and ready I decided to walk Ethan to school. Miss Cathy lives just a few blocks away and is in our ward. When we got to her house Ciara and I took Ethan in. Ethan found his name on his cubby hole all by himself and put away his backpack. He then went right in and wrote his name on the board without help. Ethan was not the shy, timid, and bashful little boy he was a year ago. I am so proud of him and how great he is doing. He knows all his letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. He goes into new situations without fear. Both Seth and I marvel at the boy he is becoming.

This is the apple that Ethan painted for me. Notice that Ethan wrote the word apple and Ethan. I love all the cute things he makes from preschool!

For Ethan's first day we went to Subway for lunch to Celebrate! I am so grateful to be a mom and for these special experiences that I can share with my children. I need to remember to cherish these moments for he is getting so big already. I am thankful for Ethan and for the sweet and loving boy that he is. I am so proud of him and excited to see all that he accomplishes this year in preschool.
