FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Joshua started school today. He has matured so much since we registered him in February...he did wonderfully! There is a time when they are just ready to experience things for themselves and now was his time.
He woke at 7:30, helped me make his lunch (PB&J, cheddar bunnies, string cheese, and apple slices), ate his breakfast, completed his normal morning routine, and waited for me to get ready by watching cartoons. We arrived to the school 10 minutes early, which made Joshua the first to be in his class...he was not bothered by that since he had first pick of the toys.
Andrew had a difficult time. He just did not know what to do with himself...he followed me around the house crying instead of being his perfect little independant player. After getting some laundry done I was able to get him down for a nap, but not for long. He wanted me to hold him while he napped, so I did. Then we had lunch and went to pick up Joshua.
We were pretty anxious to get Joshua. We arrived about five minutes til 2:00...to my dismay the time to pick him up was not until 2:30! Oh boy! The teacher said, "Go! You have 30 more minutes." Andrew and I found something to do for a short while. When we returned we barely found a parking space, we were still 7 minutes early.
Joshua had a good time. Mrs. Cavanaugh said he was a big help by folding the nap mats and that his day was good. Joshua said he enjoyed school and wants to go back on Tuesday.

On our way to school, lunchbox in tow...funny face too!

He did not want his picture taken...entrance to school.

No problems with pictures now. In front of his classroom here.
