Jackson's first day of Preschool!

Thursday, September 02, 2010

It's been a while since we've posted on the blog, but one can't miss documenting the first day of school. Jackson started pre-school on Tuesday and was so excited. We were a little nervous for him since the closest thing to school has been nursery at church which is 2 hours max. Preschool is from 9-2! As any parent probably does, we had some anxiety with the thought of him going to school. Will he like school? Will he miss mommy after 2 hours? Will he make friends? Will other kids be nice/mean? Then all those feelings turned into one huge "oh my gosh, he's growing up too fast!" feeling once we put on his (what looks like a giant) backpack and walked him from the parking lot to class. Jackson has made these last 3 1/2 years fly with so many wonderful memories - from the day we started this blog with him in the NICU to now - where has the time gone!

Well, Jackson absolutely loved his first day of school and couldn't stop telling us about the cool sand box (made of rice), Ms. Jana his teacher, and show off the craft that he made. Let's hope the 2nd day of school goes as well.

All set for school!
