Today was Kai's 1st official day of preschool. In the car on the way there he kept reassuring Rori that he wouldn't be gone very long, that he would be back in time for lunch etc. He held on to his official bag the whole way there so he wouldn't forget it!
There is a whole drop off and pick up system at his school that involves the parents not getting out of their car. As we were pulling in for drop off we had a clear view of the parents that had just dropped off their kids. I glanced over and saw a Mom driving away in heavy tears which immediately made me get a lump in my throat. Fortunately a few seconds later it was our turn and Kai jumped out with a big smile and a wave and went running in to the building without so much as a glance back.
When it was time to pick him up he jumped right back in the car with another big smile and told me all about his fun morning. They walkie talkie in to the rooms and send the kids out for safety and so there is no delay. It seems like a pretty smooth operation. Here we are waving to each other as we wait for our turn.
To celebrate a great 1st day we went to McDonalds for Happy Meals with Amanda and Drew. It was fun to get to chat with their Mom's and the kids had a blast in the indoor playland.
1st Day of Preschool = a success!
