Pre-K Lane

Lane had a great first day of Pre-K and a great first week!  He loves going to school!!  The first day I took lots of pictures.  Lane wasn't very excited about it, but he cooperated a little bit. 

You can't tell that he is excited at all, can you?

The line to get into his classroom was very long.  Lane had a hard time waiting to get in.

Once he finally got in he knew exactly where to put his backpack and lunch bag.

And he went right to a center that he thought looked like fun without a second look back. 

Marlee on the other hand is not too crazy about Lane leaving her to go to school.  The first day she moped around the better part of the day.  She was so bored she fell asleep in the middle of floor, something she has never ever done before.    Lane knew I was sad that he was going to school so he told me "Mommy don't be sad, Marlee will take care of you".

I miss Lane terribly and cannot wait for him to come home from school.  But, I do love having one on one time with my Marlee.   She has been so much fun, her little personality really shines when she has all of the attention.

Tomorrow's a Big Day!

Today has been a hard day for me.  My sweet Lane starts Pre-Kindergarten this year, he's ready and excited but Momma's not.  Tonight we went to "open house" at school.  Lane had a great time checking out his classroom and playing with some of the kids in his class.  Of course I had him take a picture in front of his very first locker.

 Here he's sitting in his spot for circle time. 

 This is the reading area.  I think this will be a favorite area of Lanes. 

The common area outside of the Pre-K classrooms has a fun play scape.  Marlee might be a little jealous of all the cool things Lane is going to get to play with.  I'm thinking she is going to miss him like crazy.  We'll probably both be crying tomorrow wishing Lane was home with us.

Lane is sooo excited to start school.  We went to have a one on one session with his teacher last week and you can see how excited he was.  We've been talking about school for quite a while now, but today every time we talked about it I just couldn't hold back the tears.  At one point he said "don't cry Mommy, I'll come home when school is over".  He has such a sweet heart and I don't worry for one bit that he'll do great.  I just want him to be happy and I hate to think that he's going to run into things we haven't prepared him for.  I know that's a part of life, I just have a hard time dealing with it when it comes to my baby. 
If you think about us tomorrow please say a prayer for us!  His school is a full day, he's to be there from 8:50-3:35.  Today I watched the clock and it's a long time!  I'll be sure to report back how the day goes.
