Noah's First Day of School!

We had such a great morning today!  Today was Noah's very first day of Preschool!  He has been looking forward to this all Summer.  Last year about half way through the year as he was talking more and more, he started saying things like "Noah pay (play) too!" and "my school!".  He was so pitiful every time we dropped Ella off.  He wanted to stay and have some fun!! Since we could tell he was so interested and having some play time at school, it was a no brainer during re-enrollment that we would sign Noah up, too.  

He is going to be going just two days a week from 9-12. I think this will be perfect for him to have some time out of the house to make new friends and learn.  Today they had school for just an hour so that the kids could become aquatinted with their new teachers and classroom.  Then on Tuesday he will start with his first full day.  He is attending the same school Ella goes to and even gets to have our favorite teacher Mrs. Sharon (who was Ella's two year old teacher) this year.  Ella will go tomorrow to meet her class and then she will start full time on Tuesday.  

Here are some pics of Noah checking out the new classroom.  As you can tell, he was a little unsure at first.  He did a lot of watching, but his teacher said he just kept playing and had a great "day".  When I came to get him he said "I'm not done playing yet, mama!" so I think that's a good sign he likes it!  

Getting his name tag all set!

With his friend Baileigh from church..just taking it all in....

Before we went in, I grabbed a couple pics of my "big boy" all ready for his first day of school.  Talk about pullin' a Mama's heartstrings!!!!!!  He has been my little buddy all day- every day.  Ella is so independent and likes doing things on her own, but Noah is always close by me.  Not going to lie, it was hard to leave him, but I'm so happy to watch him grow and learn to be on his own some.  

and he was definitely ready to go!!

We are so excited to watch Noey grow and learn so much in his first year at school!!! Yay Noah!!
