Gage had his first day of preschool last Wednesday. He only had to go for 1 hour and I was able to stay with him the whole time. He has been so excited for preschool since Jaden went last year. He goes Monday, Wednesday and Friday 12:15 pm - 2:45 pm. It was just Gage and I in the car on our way to school and he was so quiet. I think he was really excited. I tried to talk to him the whole time and he finally loosened up a little bit. While we were in his classroom he asked me to take a picture of him in front of the apple tree bulletin board. This surprised me because he is not typically one who would ask me to take his picture, so I thought it was cute that he asked me to and was specific about it being in front of the apple tree. He chose to color for his first activity, which was surprising to me. He doesn't usually color at home and if he does, he might color for a few minutes. At school he sat and colored for a long time and he was very diligent about coloring in the lines. I was quite impressed. He missed his 2nd day of school because we went to Boise, I'm sure he will be excited to get to go to school tomorrow.
Jaden had his first day of kindergarten today. He goes to school Monday through Friday 8:40 am - 11:20 am. We live out of the area for him to ride the bus so either Tyler or I will take him to school and pick him up every day. After school today he said he liked school, he had PE and that they had an assembly and their principal told them to wear a helmet when they ride a bike, a scooter or skateboard. His only complaint was that they didn’t do any “academics” today.
