Ben Starts School

It's so hard for me to think that we are at the age of Ben starting pre-school. We have been blessed for the past three years of having Jake's mom be able to care for Ben. And she still will! We had been on a waiting list since April and they finally had an opening so Jake and I knew that we couldn't pass up the opportunity. He's going to be going Tuesday's and Thursday's and all for the fact that we thought it was time for him to have more social interaction with kids his own age. Having four older brothers he sometimes forgets that he's only three!!

So for his birthday he got a new backpack and lunch box and has been counting down the days until he begins. Monday night we packed his lunch and got his backpack already. Jake was lucky enough to be able to go into work late and Bransen also was able to join us on dropping Ben off on his first day.

When we got there we hung up his backpack and lunchbox and walked into his classroom where we met his teacher, Ms. Alecia. Ben quickly noticed that the kids were playing with play-doh so he jumped on grabbing a container and sat right down with his friends. Shortly after while he was distracted (no long goodbyes) we left!

It was by far the longest day for me. I could not wait until Pep picked him up and I could hear about his day. But his teacher was amazing and messaged me in the afternoon with some pictures and to let me know he was having a great day.

Pep picked him and he was always smiles.

When he got home, he went and hung his backpack right up in his room. He had a sheet in his backpack letting us know how his day went. It said he opened up a lot on the playground and he was not a fan of nap time!

He's already looking forward to day number two!
