On Tuesday, Jayden had his first day of preschool. He's been so excited about starting school, he was bouncing off the walls all morning. He'll be going every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon. We got out the door about a half hour early, so we took the time to get a few pictures.
This picture was his idea. He wanted a picture in front of the tree like Ethan...I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm sure it means something.
Here we are heading out the door. Notice the Rock N Roll sign he's doing with his right hand.
In front of his new school!
The teachers had name tags for all of the kids, Jayden was pretty happy to wear his.
The minute we walked through the door, Jayden took off on his own. While the other kids were hanging on their parents legs, I was trying to keep up with Jayden. When I told him Bye, he didn't even look my way to tell me goodbye...I guess this is good?

When I told him Bye, he didn't even look my way to tell me goodbye...I guess this is good?Jayden didn't give very many details on the day. When I'd ask him a question, he'd just shrug his shoulders. From what I could gather over the last couple of days, they read a book about a bird, Spongebob was on the tv somewhere, they had Goldfish Crackers for a snack, and they practiced something. He just told me that they're going to McDonalds today. So, who knows.
After school, we went to the doctor for his physical. Jayden is not a good kid to take to the doctor. We'll just leave it at that.
We finished the day with a trip to Dairy Queen, Jayden had some money from Grandma and Grandpa and decided he wanted to go for ice cream.
For the most part, it was a good day (if I can black the memory of the doctors office out of my memory), and he is very excited to go back. I think I've answered "Are you SO Happy I go to school now?" about 50 times since Tuesday, which just tells me that he is so happy. He has also proclamed that he can read the big chapter books because he goes to school now as he sat down to "read" the Series of Unfortunate Events.
So far, I think we're off to a great start!

I'm so glad the first day went well. It's a GOOD thing that he was glued to your leg. Taylor was the same way, and it didn't phase her at all that I was dropping her off and we were leaving her there!! It looks like he had a great time!! And I'd have to agree to go to DQ also!!!

The tree shot is outstanding. If he grows fast enough, he'll be able to clime it before it gets to big around to get a good hold of it. Slide show is great as well. When is a good time to work on some of this over pizza at Wise Guys , or Latte at Diggers. Got your Kindel yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00154JDAI?tag=mccuente0b-20
