All the kids start preschool

Jaron started preschool earlier this month.  Jaron has been asking to go to preschool since about last October.  Every time I would drop the girls off he would ask 'when I go to preschool mom?'  I would always tell him he had to be 3.  I debated sending him this year since I'm not sure if I'll have him start kindergarten when he turns 5 or hold him back a year so he's older when he starts school instead of being the youngest in his class.  But he was so excited to start so I did it.



He was so excited his first day.  I dropped him off and had to ask him for a hug before he just turned and walked in without even turning around to say bye.  After I picked him up that day he was a little quiet but I didn't think a thing about it.  Thursday came along and I got him out of the car and he had a death grip on my hand and started crying.  I was so thrown off by this, I was totally not prepared.  Luckily Ms. Tammy just scooped him up and walked in while he cried 'Mooooommmm'  It was sooo sad!!!  After preschool he declared to me 'Mom, I don't want to go to preschool anymore!'  And all weekend long he kept telling me that.  I kept asking him why he didn't want to go and he wouldn't tell me. Finally one night while putting him to bed he said 'cuz I miss you so much Mom'  oh my gosh...heart breaking, cute, and so sad all at the same time.  I just wanted to scoop him up and never let him go.

Well he cried the next 2 times after that and now he's going just fine and is happy and is excited when he tells me what he's done in class that day.  He even got to celebrate his birthday this week and bring treats for his class.

The girls started Pre-K preschool as well.  They love it and are happy to go each time.  They go 3 days a week.  They have Ms. Tara and Ms. Beverly as their teachers and are doing great.  The first day we took Jaron to school, I took the girls shopping to get stuff for their birthday party.  We went to Zurchers which I was laughing at how excited they were walking up and down the aisles looking at all their party stuff.  Then we went to walmart for a few things and as we were leaving Siena turned to me a said 'I didn't realize how much fun Jaron has been having while we've been at school last year.'  haha...little does she know we played at the aquarium almost weekly!



This week they came home with their alphabet crowns.  Before they can start their reading program they have, they have to pass off knowing all their letters and the sounds each letter makes.



I think it's going to be a great school year and I'm excited to see all that they will learn.  Which is good since paying for 3 kids in preschool isn't the cheapest thing I've done.
