First Day of School

Last Thursday Jacob finally had his first day of preschool (I think his school took the award for latest start date....) Over the summer, everytime we would drive by the church/school he would say "church is open, but school is closed" in such a sad tone. You can imagine the excitement he had when it was time to go back.

We met his new teacher last Tuesday and saw his classroom. Last year, the 2 year olds did almost everything in their room, without venturing out much. This year, he will move between rooms for music & movement, science & discovery, and Bible classes as well as go to the community center to eat his lunch, school cafeteria style. Not only will be he learning fundamental school 'stuff',' but he'll learn some basics about transitioning between classes. His class this year does not take a nap at school, so that will take some getting used to as Jacob still takes a nap most days and rests for a couple of hours on the days he doesn't sleep.
