Preschool

Seems hard to believe that my little man went to his first day of preschool this past week!
Granted it is only one day/week for 2 1/2 hours, but still seems crazy!
I am so excited for him to be in preschool.  
It worked out absolutely perfect.  
He is in a 2-year old class and the preschool is at a Lutheran church.  
He goes on Wednesday mornings, which again works out perfect because I am working Wednesdays so my mother-in-law only has to watch Blake in the morning and then have both boys in the afternoon.
We went an met his teacher before school started and she is so sweet!  
Landon seemed very comfortable in the classroom and was SUPER excited about starting school.

They have a schedule they follow every week which includes circle time, crafts, snack, free play, recess, phonics and alphabets, academic (shapes, colors, numbers, etc.) and Bible story.  There is also a field trip every month where we are going to the zoo, pumpkin patch, watershed, Albertsons, and Great Harvest Bread Company.  Field trips are on Thursdays, which again is perfect because that means I can go!  They do holiday parties and also have chapel every other week!
I just think it is the perfect outlet for him to get out of the house once a week to play and learn!
(The theme of this post seems to be perfect!)

Since I work on Wednesdays, Jared will be dropping him off at school.  
I was sad to miss taking him his first day but Jared took pictures for me to see.  He said it was a bit crazy trying to get out of the house and then dropping him off but he did manage to get some pics!

Walking out the door with his big boy backpack on!



Jared said that 2 or 3 kids were crying when they got to class but Landon walked right in and started playing and didn't mind at all when Jared left.  What a big boy (makes this mama get a little choked up  thinking about it).


Playing in Mrs. McConnell's class



I am really praying that he LOVES school and has a great year.  
He loves going to Sunday school at church, so hopefully he will feel the same about preschool!


We love our little man so much and are very proud of him!

We can't seem to get enough pictures of our oldest grandson, he certainly lights up our life.
