First Day of Preschool

Today is Max's first day of preschool. He didn't really want to go but he came around to the idea when it was time to put on his "new" backpack and carry his lunchbag. When we arrived at his school, we saw a little girl who was in his pre-kindy class. He mentioned that "she plays with Toby. Toby snatches." I gave him a little pep talk about what to do if another child tries to take his toy. After that, it was smooth sailing. He put his shoes and backpack into his cubby, found some trains, gave me a kiss and hug, and that's that.

Max loved this picture because he knew he was pulling a face

Ready for school

In his "classroom"

I'll have to post pictures of his school. It has such a good set up. It's in a converted home in a neighborhood. One wall has been knocked out so the kids can choose to be indoors or outdoors. The garden has a greenhouse, sandpit, climbing area, mature trees, rock walls, and a cave for the kids to play and climb on. There are always lots of different art projects (Max seldom does them) and many building/discovery toys as well as imaginative play areas. I'm a big fan of the place, as you might perceive.

He'll attend Mondays and Tuesdays from 9-2.30. It seems like a long time for the little guy. Hopefully he will still be keen to go tomorrow!

Max Goes to School

It sounds like a good title for a book, Rachel! I'm glad he was happy to go to school after his initial apprehensions. I know he will enjoy making friends.
