Wyatt started preschool on Sept. 7th and it was such a big milestone for all of us. The night before, we read him a couple of bedtime stories, including "Curious George's First Day of School".
The next morning, I woke him up early and reminded him that he would not be watching any television on school day mornings unless he got himself ready early. That first morning he jumped out of bed with a big smile on his face, went to the breakfast table and ate two bowls of "Honey Bunches of Oats"- his recent favorite cereal. After breakfast, he got dressed, brushed his hair and teeth, let me take a dozen "first day of school" photos and was still ready early enough to watch a Curious George cartoon before we headed out.
Ross was off duty and was able to attend the first day, which meant a lot to Wyatt. Samuel was really excited to be a part of the first day too and loved waiting outside the school with all of the other students and their younger siblings.
When it came time for Wyatt to line up and go inside he gave us all a hug and kiss (Sam asked for a second) and then jockeyed between saying goodbye one more time and getting in line. Ross eventually walked him up the stair and he went inside with a huge smile on his face. Sam yelled "Goodbye!" and "Have fun!" over and over again to his big brother.
Afterward, we took Sam over to a new local park to play and have some fun of his own. I think he misses Wyatt on preschool mornings but is also enjoying one on one time with mom and dad.
Here's a little video I took of Wyatt coming out of class that first day...
