Today was Elijah's first day of preschool. We have been waiting a year to get into this school and were beside ourselves when he finally got in (Ezra is going on the waiting list this year!) He has 2-team teachers, Mrs. G and Mrs. C, and 11 kids in his happy little classroom. We woke up this morning and he was ready and very excited to be going to school. When we got there he had to wash his hands (all kids do upon entering class) and he said, "mama, do you know how many pumps of soap to use...2!" that was news to me, but his teacher must have taught him that on Tuesday at our conference. Next, he went straight for the tow truck that he had been talking about all week, made his rounds to the aquarium, sand scooping box, and the magnifying glasses. At this point he looks at me and says, "okay, bye bye mama!" chipper as can be. So, I kneeled down, stunned and got my hug and kiss, (shot a couple more pics) and left. He never looked back...
When we picked him up he was great! He had a blast, his teacher said he was very involved in all activities, and that was that. We went to the Living Room for a special lunch and finished our day with our last OB appointment. This little man who has blessed us beyond ALL expectations is about to become a BIG brother on Tuesday. Wow, Ezra is one lucky kid :)
I LOVE ELIJAH...the most and the most and the most! He is MY hero!!
