1st Day of Pre-K

Yesterday was Brayden's very first day of Pre-K!  He was super excited.  This will be his fourth and final year in the Weekday Preschool program so it's a little sad for me.  I remember how shy his was his very first day in Miss Mary's class.  He has never been one of those clingy, crying, won't let you drop him off kind of kids but when he was really small he was awfully slow to get into class.  He only went once a week his first year so it wasn't a daily routine and each week he was a little unsure about going.  The first few days of the next two years were the same.  He wasn't upset about going, but just really shy and kind of slow to go into the classroom.  Since he went 3 days a week both of those years he got over that shyness really quick and it was only like that for maybe the first week.  I guess part of me expected for yesterday to be the same...new year, new teacher, new classroom.  However, he walked straight into that class without so much as a goodbye or look back.  His teacher said, "Okay hug your mom and tell her bye.", but before she could even get that sentence out he was already across the room hanging his backpack on his little hook.  So I told the teacher bye and left.  When I picked him up he was just full of new information and talking, talking talking.   So happy his first day went so well, but a little sad at how big he's getting.  Of course, I don't get much time to dwell of that because we already have to start thinking about what to do with him for Kindergarten next year.  A lot of the schools are starting registration this fall already....crazy.
About to leave for the first day!

Okay I took this picture because we have one like it for every year he has gone to preschool here, and I was going to put this one next to the one from his first year, but I cannot seem to find it...sigh.
