We are calling it "big boy preschool" because it is one where the students have to be potty-trained to go there. Petey is doing such a great job with the potty!
I had a hard time picking just a couple of photos to post. He was in a really goofy mood and actually smiled for the camera!
I couldn't get him to leave those straps alone. He's convinced they are the "utility belt" part of his Batman backpack, and he's always asking me to tie them together.
Ready to fly off to preschool!
Whoops -- I forgot I needed to make some sort of cool nametag to hang from Petey's backpack, so we had to make do with painter's tape and a Sharpie.
Blast off!
"Quick, take the picture so I can go in and start having fun!"
Found his assigned hook with the turkey picture by it so he could hang up his jacket. Kind of an appropriate animal, don't you think?
I told him to pose like a preschooler, and this is what I got. The other little girl who jumped in the shot cracks me up. She was very vocal during preschool visitation and announced to everyone that they found a snake in their pool skimmer that week.
It was sweet how Mrs. Mann got down on the floor to welcome each kid into the classroom. She always stood up for the older four-year-old class that Charlotte was in last year. It's funny to see all the different procedures she has for the three-year-old class (like how the first two weeks of school feature only 1.5-hour classes instead of the full 2.5 hours to help ease in the kids who haven't ever been to school before).
When we picked the kids up, Mrs. Mann reported that everyone had a great day and no one cried. That has to be some kind of miraculous record, I bet. Petey was happy and chatty when we got out of class. Let's hope we continue to have great drop-offs like today -- last year was really difficult when he screamed like he was being murdered every time I dropped him off at school. I'm crossing my fingers!
