Jack and Jill Preschool

Landon had his 1st day of preschool today!  Our big boy is growing up so fast.  He is in the 2 year old classroom and he has 9 other classmates.  They are all very nice and Landon is going to make some really good buddies!  We are so excited because we have been working on helping Landon learn his colors, numbers, shapes and ABC's, and the curriculum for his class is awesome!  They learn all of that plus so much more...days of the week, weather, etc.  And, on top of all of that he will see his peers going to the potty room throughout the day and hopefully it will encourage him to start using the big potty! As Landon has said to us recently, "Mommy, I like pooping in my diaper." NOT what I wanted to hear when I asked him when he wanted to start using the big boy potty haha. But, he will get there eventually (I just have to keep telling myself that). So, overall this is going to be a great experience for Landon and we are so excited for him! 

This is what Landon's school day will look like!

9-9:20am  Arrival/Play Time
9:20-9:40am  Bible Story Circle Time...Learn about Jesus!

10:30-10:45am  Story Time

11:05-11:20am  Another potty break/attempt!  :)
11:20-11:40am  Gym Time
11:40-12pm  Clean Up and Dismissal

Landon is really going to have so much fun!  He will learn and get to have fun at school!  Sounds pretty great huh!?  We stayed after class to take a few pictures.  Enjoy!

Is he raising his hand already?  Haha probably not, but that would be pretty neat if he was!

Each week every student will have certain responsibilities.  We are really excited for this because Landon loves to help Mommy with things around the house and I think he will enjoy helping the teachers.

 He really likes all of the toys in his classroom. 

Each student has a hook to put their backpacks on and their name is on a frog label...super cute.  Landon's is right in the center.  He brought his Buzz Lightyear backpack today.

Elle and I went to orientation while Landon was in his classroom. She was making some really cute and goofy faces!  She has learned that when she makes a funny face, we laugh.  It's a fun game.  :)

 Here is a close up of Landon's backpack hook and cute little bag his school gave him.

 Well I'd say he's right at home here.  He loves all of the new toys to play with and I know he will love his 2 new teachers and classmates.  I can't wait for all of the conversations we will have about what he learned that day on our way home in the car. 

I never want to forget this moment.  I wonder if I will look back at the picture one day and think "how old was he in this picture?".  He looks so much older to me every day and our baby boy is growing up so fast.   

Landon David is 29 months old in this picture (almost 2 and a half!) and he went to his first day of school. We are so proud!
