Preschool!

Yesterday on August 19, Cannon went to his first day of preschool!  He attends Shady Creek Montessori and his teachers are Mrs. Talbott and Mrs. Hendricks.  He has been looking forward to school for awhile, but a few days before I think he was thinking about it more and he was feeling a little anxious.  He told me that he was going to be shy for his teachers.  We talked about it and read books about going to school.  On Sunday they had an open house and he got to meet his teachers and play in his classroom.  That really helped him!  Plus two friends (Mina and Zanin) from his Sunbeams church class are in his same school class.

Here he is on his first day.  And I love that he chose to wear his Texas Longhorns shirt! 

He was being such a goof!

 

 

When he came out of his class the first thing he said to me was, "Moooom, I thought I was staying for lunch.  You're supposed to eat lunch at school Mom, that's the rule."  Well then!  He was quite talkative on the car ride home and he told me bits and pieces throughout the rest of the day and during dinner. I found out that he met a girl named Charlie and a boy named Anthony.  He played, ate snack, played outside, and read a book.  He had granola bars for snack, but he wanted the granola bars with the chocolate on the front and back.  And then he suggested that we get some at Publix.  

 

 

Mina, Zanin, and Cannon.  I don't know why I even ask Cannon to "smile" for the camera!

Two days into it and he seems to really enjoy it!  I bought him a few new clothing items and he was so anxious to wear this shirt today even though it's still 1000 degrees and 1000% humidity!  Although he told me today that he was NOT hot when he played outside.  We are adjusting to this new routine.  Usually at home he is accustomed to playing for long stretches throughout the day and usually starts his day out this way.  I pick him up at noon and then we go home for lunch.  After lunch he's kind of not sure what to do with himself.  He wants to play, but I think he also feels like he needs some down time.  With some trial and error, we'll figure things out.
