First Day of Pre-School

How is it that my little guy is already heading off to pre-school. With a teacher in the family, the start of the school year is always a momentous event, but this year, it was a whole new level of momentous. The backpack was purchased for Mason's June birthday - a fire truck theme that he chose; we had a spiffy new shirt to sport with jeans; and the hair was cut last weekend so it was looking stylish. A week ago we got a chance to stop by the pre-school for an open house to find out Mason's room and meet his teachers. It was a pleasant surprise to find that Teacher Christy and Teacher Kim who we met during a check-out session before registering were going to be Mason's teachers. He got to decorate a goodie bag, in which he would put a favorite item, got his picture taken for his "all about me" form and checked out his class.

Yesterday morning was a flurry of activity as we all got ready for the big day. Mason seemed a little tired from staying up late the night before choosing which stuffed animal he was going to take to meet his new friends. I think the excitement is what helped rouse him out of bed, too. We were able to snap a few pictures before heading off.
