The day has finally come. Ryan’s been asking for over a week when he can go to school. Wednesday he got to go for a shortened day and tomorrow he’ll go back for the full 2.5 hours. He’ll go three days a week this year. He’s definitely ready.
The first thing they have to do is wash their hands when they arrive. He’s actually tall enough to turn the water on and off.
And get his own paper towel.
Then he pretty much ran off and starting playing. I had to get his attention to say goodbye.
When we arrived an hour later to pick them up, they were just finishing their snack. He had a very worried look on his face when I came in the room and said, “I’m eating my snack.” As in, I’m not ready to leave yet. I assured him he could finish his graham cracker.
I don’t know why they start the preschoolers out at an hour…. 2.5 isn’t that long! He could’ve stayed much longer, but I drug him out of the preschool and took him to the library instead.
And that folks, means all my babies are officially back in school.

So exciting! And I love that he’s wearing angry bird shirt! Is he wearing his little vest/shield thing (not sure of the name) all the time now or just to school?
yay ryan!!
My kids were all like Ryan. I remember there were always several moms with crying kids clinging to their legs the first day. Not me. Mine couldn’t get in that door quick enough, not one tear was shed for mom. I remember thinking “Wow, I am such a great mom because my kid is so confident and brave” but then the thought flashed across my mind “Why are my kids so happy to get away from me????”…..
Glad the day finally arrived for Ryan to start school! That is great that he enjoys it so much! I love his big ole’ smile…and I am so blessed by this little guy! John and I still pray for him! (And all of you) Thanks for the pictures..he is getting so big…and even able to reach the sink like a big boy!
Now maybe momma can have some restful time alone , and time to get ready before the baby arrives!
Love, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
Yeah Ryan, and Mommy! My kids loved school too – so ready to go once it was time.
How are YOU feeling?
