My oldest is getting ready to start preschool tomorrow morning. I am so excited for him and still a bit sad that this milestone is already upon us. Only one more year and he'll spend a majority of his childhood in a classroom. But no need to think about that tonight. Tonight I am excited for him! He is ready for school and I know that he will do well!
Today we had a back to school session, just the two of us, at the cutest little schoolhouse where I attended preschool when I was 4 years old. I had visions of getting pictures of {N} sitting on the same steps that I sat on for my class picture 30 some odd years ago. And although a lot has changed over the years (for example, the steps are not exactly the same and the playground seems much smaller) the little schoolhouse still looks just as I remember it. It was where I remember singing "He's got the Whole World in His Hands" and "If You're Happy and You Know it". Where I helped ring the old fashioned school bell, won a goldfish at the school carnival, and dressed up as a tooth fairy for the Halloween parade. Where I LOVED playing in the real, full size, non-operational, gutted out car that was on the playground and learned to swing all by myself!
I have fond memories of preschool and as my little man begins his own new adventure tomorrow I hope he is blessed with precious memories too!
All grown up:
SO excited!
He will definitely NOT be the class clown...
He is ALWAYS well behaved!
And snacktime is sure to be his favorite part of the day!

Oh my goodness he looks so much like you - especially in his excited shot! These are fantastic and what a great tribute to your old preschool. I'll admit I'm pretty envious that your boy is so cooperative for photo sessions - I wouldn't even dream of having a full "session" with my boy, I'm just hoping for ONE good shot on our porch before we drive away for his first day. :)
