The First of Many School Dayz...

September 2nd was Jacob's first day of pre-school and he did so well! Both Wade and I and Grandma Burnett were able to go and drop him off. He was hesitant and took a little coaxing before we could leave, but eventually we were able to without tears...well, without Jacob tears...I got all weepy after we left, but not nearly as weepy as I thought I would be. I was really so proud of him.
The following days have not been as great, he cries before we leave and doesn't want me to leave him there. He always lets me leave and even does it without tears, but when I pick him up I find out that that is not the case during school. I guess I shouldn't be so suprised it always takes Jacob just a little bit longer than most kids to warm up to new situations, so we will give him a few more tries before I worry about it too much. The funny thing about it is that he can chatter all day about the things he learns and doesn't even protest about going again, but then when it actually comes time to go we have problems...kids?!!

Here's a few pics of the first day...

Doesn't he look just like a Mini-Wade in his polo and tennis shoes...both are staples in Wade's wardrobe.
