first day of preschool

What a cheese ball. Seriously. And those pants look really big on him.


Walking out of his classroom after school was finished. Look at that, "I'm such a big boy. I go to preschool now!" face.

The preschool hands out canvas bags to decorate a few days before school starts. I think this is a great idea. Little hands aren't always the best at zippers and getting papers in and out. We had fun decorating it over the weekend.


Jaren missed his "buder".They always give hugs like this whenever they are apart...after naps, after church...etc. It is adorable. On the way to pick up Kaden, Jaren kept yelling, "pee-school!"

So far we are pleased with the school and the teachers. Kaden has a friend from church in his class, which helped calm the jitters. After we had lunch I asked Kaden if he missed me and he said, "No." A minute later he told me, "I had tears." I asked him why and he said, "Cause I missed you a little bit and cried a little bit."

Phew! I was starting to think he didn't miss me at all! I'm kidding. I know it will be good for him to have something that is all his own, and for Jaren to be the only kid home for a few hours. It was definitely quiet this morning. I could get used to that! Whenever they are home they always yell at each other. Mostly just playing, but a lot of times it is fighting.

Thanks for all your encouragement and lovely comments. We're feeling a little better, not so confused. Funny how you find out how many other people have gone through this exact same thing when you are right in the thick of it. Tyler is probably going to start working from home until he is able to go back. I'm thankful his employers are willing to help and work with the situation.
