First Day of Pre-school

Last year the 2 little ones did Kids Day In at Westlink Church. 1 day a week.

This year they get to go to Pre-school. 2 days a week.

All ready for school.

That grin on her face is SO HER!!! Her back-pack is as big as her!

Isn't he so HANDSOME!! Usually he doesn't let me dress him "preppy" (for a lack of a better word). I told Jaden it was a rule you had to wear a collared shirt the first day of school. I didn't lie---it is MY rule! It worked and look how stinkin cute he is!!

He wanted to make sure I got a picture of his back-pack.

New Shoes!

Walking into school...

Everyone seems to be doing ok.!?

And, then Jaden decides he doesn't want to go to school.

He just sat down in the grass.

Paige was nearly to the building and I had to stop her!

I told Jaden I had a meeting to go to (which I did), so he had to go to school.

He quickly told me he could go home because dad was at home!

I did get him into the building.

Paige and Mrs. McCalla--her new teacher.

Hanging up her back-pack.

She is so excited that she sees her name on the coat rack.

Jaden hanging up his back-pack.

He is sad, but doing ok.

Then, I tell him it's time to go and MELT-DOWN!!

I pick him up, he grabs on as tight as he can and starts crying.

This, of course, just breaks my heart.

I almost did take him home to dad.

Then, Levi Harden came---just in time. (Levi is our friend from church.) So, we take our picture with Levi and seem to be doing better.

Levi then goes into class and Jaden does not.

Then, MaryKate comes. OH good...another friend we know.

He won't even take his picture with her.

She goes into class. But, not Jaden.

I talk to him some more and then tell him I will take him into class but the teacher says I have to leave right away. So, I took him to the carpet, sat him next to MaryKate and he was FINE!!

OH MY.....

Now--last year at Kids Day In, he cried for MONTHS....EVERY TIME I dropped him off. So, I pray this does not happen this year.

Paige had no troubles. She just walked right in and started playing.

Dad picked the kids up from school and Jaden said he did have fun.

So, we'll see what Tuesday brings!!!
