First day...

of PRE-K!!!
Today was Ryan's first day of preschool in his Pre-K class! Last Thursday, we got to go and meet his teachers and get acclimated to the classroom! This year's theme is Bee's and "Buzzing into Preschool!!!"
Meeting his teacher who we love!!!
Checking out the classroom!!!
After a scavenger hunt around the classroom, we headed to the "hive" to learn more about the school and this years rules and theme!
My cute little bumble bee!!!
I was so glad that we got to go and meet his teachers, because he was so much more comfortable and excited to go today!!!
All ready for school!!!Austin had to join in on the fun! He's going to miss his big brother!
Dropping Ryan off he got right to it and headed in for some fun!So three days a week I get to spend more time this adorable little face!!!
It was so sweet! After we dropped Ryan off, Austin asked me over and over again when it was time to get Ryan. He just didn't know what to do without his buddy around to play with him. He finally figured it out around 11:00 when it was almost time to get Ry and was having a great time playing without having to fight for a toy or share with anyone!
But, he was definitely happy to have Ryan back home after school!!!
I managed to get through the day without shedding a tear! That is, until nap time for Austin when Ryan picked "Love You Forever" as our story time book. This is a book about a boy who grows up and his Mommy sings him this song while he sleeps every night:
"Love you forever
Like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be!"
He asked me what the note was that was written in the front, so I read it to him. The book was given to me as a gift from my parents the day Ryan was blessed. Let's just say, the tears started flowing then!!! It's so sad to me and hard to think of the milestones we reach and that they pass so quickly as does the time! I only have one more year of having my kids home with me most of the time, and next year all of that will change and the years having children in school will begin! Where does time go?!?
