Yes friends today was the first day of Pre-School for ADL and it went really well. We got up, ignored most of our breakfast (as we almost always do) and got right over to the Day School. We got to actually park in the lot (was shocked) so we were actually about 10 minutes early getting to class - am sure all teachers love eager beavers right? ADL is in a class of 2+ with six children four boys and two girls. Mrs. M his teacher has been at the school for 9 years teaching this age and seems to be an expert - she also has three kids of her own including two boys pretty close together so perhaps she will regale me with her expertise? All the kids were so cute, the moms were nice and everyone seemed excited. As always ADL did not show any signs of being shy or sad to be away from home and just wanted to get to business with his new friends. There was after all toy school busses and trains to play with.... It will be about two weeks before they are on their permanent schedule - since we are easing into all the excitement - but am sure each day will be a new adventure.
Nino was also a champ going to the class and hanging out in the bjorn until we knew all was well. The best part of school is that we will now have some quality Mommy and me time to get into trouble.
Also note - each child has to have a backpack - where they attach the name tag for the drive up dismissal and Alessandro seems to really love his. He can almost put it on by himself and likes drawing attention to what a BIG boy he is. Of course all that is in there is extra diapers, a change of clothes (just in case) and some goldfish but it is a start. Thanks for all the good wishes - school is going to be great! XOXO
P.S. The one photo here with the semi-out looks exactly like every photo of David that was ever taken... Don't you all think so?
