First Day of Pre-school!

Jacob David,
Today was your first day of pre-school!  I can't believe that you are old enough to be doing this!  Or is it that I can't believe that I'm old enough to me a mom who is dropping off her child for his first day of pre-school!  Your education is soooo important that I didn't want you to miss out on this fun, yet stimulating year of pre-school.  And, down the road, I will admit that YOU needed it! :-)  You drove me crazy not wanting to learn your colors until you turned three!  I'm pretty sure that you did this just to mess with your educator mother!!!  So now, it's off to learn from someone else other than me!  I was a little bit of  "that" mother this morning....singing "Happy PreSchool Day to You" as you were waking, taking pictures on the front porch, with your new teacher, and with me on our "first" day this year!  Through the curtain that separates our classroom I heard you loud and clear on a few occasions....I wonder how long it will take before I'm having to give you a speech about not talking in class??  Luckily I didn't have to leave you in a place that was foreign to me because it's hard enough transitioning you within the same building.  Will your teacher understand your fears, your love of music, your need to think "out loud", your desire to know and talk about everything, your intuition that is beyond your years, your difficulty with sharing, your love of chocolate milk, the comfort you find in your taggie??  And I'm just across the curtain, geesh!!
I'm so glad that you are beginning to take an interest in your letters and I am ready for all of the fun we can having while we're learning about them.  It's a huge step in life to conquer your letters and their sounds.   This knowledge will take you on great adventures through many pages.  I'm so excited for this next stage of our life!  But tonight, I love that you are telling me (without prompting) so often that you love me!
You are my world!
Love, Momma

My first day of Pre-School 2011 (Can I take my taggie and milk, mom?)

I'm a little cheesy!
