Today was the start of Linkin's first day of preschool! I have been looking into preschool for the longest time to try to find the best fit for him and I think I found it! I was so excited to find this place and to be lucky enough that they had a spot open up. I know Linkin will be really happy at his new preschool! I started him mid year and I will also be doing it through the summer. I was going to wait until next August to start him, but I realized that he was so extremely ready for the social interaction and the structure and routine preschool would provide him and I couldn't hold him back because I wasn't ready to see him go out into the real world. I signed him up and he is thrilled! Today I went to drop him off and I was getting all the papers turned in and putting his stuff away and he ran away from me faster than a bullet! He was so excited to go run and play with the kids. When I went out to tell him I was leaving he was like, "okay." He could care less I was leaving he was having too much fun and he was annoyed I was getting in his way of basketball! haha. I'm glad he is so well adjusted! :) As soon as I got in my car to drive away I started to cry a little bit. I couldn't believe it. It was such a weird feeling to leave your kid and send him off in the world when for 3 years I've tried my hardest to shield and protect him from it. I ran through and got me a coke (yes I fell off the wagon and occasionally indulge in a few cokes :) and than I went home licking my wounds. jk. I am so glad he is happy and loving preschool! I will miss you little buddy! (but I will say I am excited to get some things done like going to the grocery store and not bringing along my "helper"!)
Poptarts are the NEW breakfast of champions in our house! He thought he was so big with his backpack and his 2 different rain boots! As soon as we walked into the school yard he yelled to all the kids, "look! I have a back pack!" (I had to bribe him to smile for the camera in these pics. HE was giving me the evil eye until I said hey Link I will give you a marshmallow if you smile! Than I started getting the GQ pics! Now I know the secret weapon to get him to take good pics!!!)
