First Day of School



We registered Nolan for the three-year-old pre-k class at a church close to us. Although we don't feel he needs school yet for academic reasons, he will benefit from it socially, we're sure!

With his backpack and nap mat, he's ready to go to his first day of school.


Of course, we feared this was going to happen. Once we got to school and walked in the doors, he started to clam up. Not surprising, but still not the way we hoped this morning would play out. It was a tearful goodbye as we took Nolan to his class. He was clinging to Daddy's leg, and the teacher had to pull Nolan off of him and drag him into class as he's crying. Of course, it broke Mommy's heart watching him go off to school being drug into his class crying for us.

The June Cleaver in me came out, and I baked some cookies as a first after-school snack.
