Nolan's First Day of 3s Preschool

Nolan started 3 year old preschool this week!!!  We have been talking about going back to school for a couple of weeks to get him excited and it worked because he was thrilled to go back and did a great job on day one!!  Nolan has two really great teachers this year, one of which he had last year, so it was nice to see a familiar face in the classroom.  The one little boy that he seemed to connect with the most last year is also in his class again this year.  Nolan said that he saw Colin on his first day and said, "hi."  :)

I wasn't able to take Nolan to school this year since I am back to work but, luckily, Eric was able to take the morning off to make sure that Nolan had a good breakfast, took a nice picture, and was walked to his classroom.  Nolan was a champ and walked right into his room, gave Eric a high five, and started playing.  Piece of cake.

When it was time to be picked up, Mary Clare did pick up since I am back to work.  Nolan looked at his teachers when Mary Clare was at the door and said, "that's not my mommy."  Luckily, Mary Clare was put on the approved pick up list or I'm not sure how the kid would have gotten home that day!  He then refused to tell Mary Clare about his day until he told me when I got home.  It's kinda mean to Mary Clare but it also kinda made me happy ;)

He had his second day today and did the drop off line for the first time where he gets out of the car and walks himself all the way down to his classroom.  I was a nervous wreck that he wouldn't make it or would panic but he did great!!!  I think it is going to be another great year in the Rainbow Room!!

 Silly face.

 Nolan comes home with art work at the end of each day at preschool.  This is a ladder.  We have been handed 3 other ladder pictures since.

 This is a dinosaur.

He also said that he had cheese and beer for snack on his first day :)  Yikes!
