first day of pre-k




Carter started Pre-K at Rosa Taylor Elementary today...and he LOVED it!!! We went for Open House yesterday so he could meet his teacher and see his classroom. This morning we took him in, reminded him where his seat is and told him goodbye. He was pretty excited to play with the dominoes that his teacher put out on the table for him. I made it out the door tear free, amazingly! I returned to pick him up at 3 pm. All of the moms & dads were gathered on the sidewalk, eagerly watching for the classroom door to open. When it did, Mrs. Switzer peeked out and said "while I have you all gathered here, I want to tell you that ALL of your children had an AWESOME first day!" She made lots of moms happy with that statement! It put a smile on my face to hear him singing new songs all afternoon. Carter told me that he "loves his new school and his teacher does really nice things for him." According to Carter, he liked carrying the tray in the cafeteria. After school, we met Trish and Sam for an ice cream in celebration of our first day of school. Tonight before bed as I laid in bed with Carter talking, he looked at me and said "Momma, I think my new school is GREAT!" Here's hoping he continues to enjoy the school year.
