First Day of School

Miles had his first day of school today. He is going to St. Thomas Aquinas a preschool by our house. His friend Tyler goes there as well. He was supposed to be in Tyler's class, but it was full, so they put him in the 3 year old group even though he is still 2. They said since his birthday is in a month it would be just fine. We have been telling Miles for days that he starts school today with his teachers Ms. Kari and Ms. Kelly. In turn he tells everyone that he is going to TyTy's school. He was very excited. I woke him up at 8:15 this morning and the first thing he said was, "I go to school today, Mama?"

Chris and I both took him down there and dropped him off. We signed him in and showed him to his classroom and introduced his teachers. Ms. Kelly asked him if he liked legos and that was the last we saw of him........so sad! It was the longest 3 hours I've ever waited!!!

Ready to go!


Miles new backpack. Such a big boy!!


All done!


Miles teachers said he had a great first day!


Mr. Independent

Miles said they made dinosaurs out of play-doh, had snack time, played on the playground and played with Thomas the Train books and toys. In his backpack was a folder with info for us and a piece of paper with a couple of random rectangles glued to it and some very sparse crayon marks. It said "Miles Rectangle-asaurus". Apparently he made it. Hopefully he will take a better interest in his creative side as time goes on, because so far it has been a No-Go! Although his teachers said he did great and were surprised he had never been in school before, our excitement was soon diminished by the moody, whiny kid we had to endure on the ride home. Some things will never change!
