First Day of Preschool

Oliver's first day of preschool was last Thursday. Yes, the same day as Matt's birthday and surprise party. So you can probably understand why I am just now getting around to blogging about it. It's been a busy few weeks around here!

Oliver attends the Graham Cracker Express preschool at our church. He LOVES it! I was so proud of the way he walked right in on the first day. It didn't hurt that it was "Rain forest Week" - he loves jungle animals :) His teachers are Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Abner. Mrs. Miller is our senior pastor's wife and Mrs. Abner is our college pastor's wife. So we already knew them somewhat before the school year started. He is only attending one day a week so today was his second time there. They do circle time, centers, play outside, have a snack, go to Bible Class, go to Spanish Class and have circle time again to wrap it up. It is a full and fun day for him! He knows quite a few kids in his class from church and from GCE last year. He brought home the quintessential pine cone brushed with peanut butter and birdseed bird feeder today. We're planning to hang it up outside this afternoon :) Preschool is so fun!

Mommy and Gabby have done "Gabby School" both weeks so far while Oliver is in school using a toddler curriculum I love. The first week we did eyes and this week we did feet and toes. Gabby was excited that this week included getting her toenails painted. "Just like Mommy!!!" she says!

We love our teachers and are very excited about the year! Here are a few pictures from the first day.

My silly boy doesn't always love to pose for pictures!


There we go! What a big boy he is getting to be!

Dropping his backpack into the "Oliver" basket. He wasn't so sure about leaving it there. He really wanted to keep it with him.


Oliver is in the "Oreos" class this year!


With his teacher Mrs. Miller... he is of course too busy playing with the snake to pose for mommy!
