My big boy goes to preschool....

Bryce started preschool today at Wesleyan Christian Academy. We are all very excited about him going to preschool. He will be going on Tuesday and Thursday's from 9-2. They go to spanish class, the library, music class, PE and have chapel on Thursdays. There are 12 kids in his class and all but 1 are boys. The teachers are going to have their hands full. His teachers are Mrs. Jennifer and Mrs. Melissa. Melissa is the neighbor behind us who Bryce climbs the fence to play in her yard. Needless to say, she is already familiar with Bryce. This morning when I dropped him off, they had toys on the tables for the kids to play with to help distract them from a hard goodbye.
They have hooks outside the classroom for their backpacks and lunch boxes. I ordered Bryce a personalized backpack but it hasn't come in yet. We bought this one at Carter's and it has a matching lunch box.

My big boy, all ready for school. He was so excited and telling Carter that he could not go to school with him.

Last Thurday, the school had open house and meet the teacher night. The bag on the left was for Bryce and had some colors, a silly straw and some candy in it. The bag on the right was for Bryce's parents and it was called a "gem bag".

The note on the front said:

This is a parents supply kit in honor of your little "jewel".

A post-it to make note of all his wonderful achievements

Tissues for all of the moments that will make you proud and for those hard goodbyes

A sponge to prepare you for all that he will absorb this year

A ball to remind you to always take a moment to play everyday

Candy to reward yourself for being such a great parent.

I thought that it was so sweet. I am looking forward to a great year and I hope that Bryce enjoys preschool and learns so much.
