Off to School, Off to School...


Today was Deacon's first day back at Preschool and he was SUPER excited! For the last few days we have been talking about going back~ new friends, new teachers, but the same great school and lots of learning and fun! Last night Deacon and I went shopping for a new "back-to-school" T-shirt and he wanted Superman. He told me then he could be "extra-super"... a super helper and a super listener... Boy, that sounded good to me!! This morning he still wasn't sure why his best buddies Millie and Grant weren't going to be in his class or why Ms. Terri wasn't his teacher so we went over that again in the car on the way there but it all seemed to disappear as we pulled into the parking lot. He jumped out and was ready to go!

He seemed darn relaxed so I wasn't too worried!

Deacon and Mama at assembly before the start of school each morning. Daddy and Faith Clare went as well since it is a BIG family affair for the first day of school!

Listening quietly on the blanket at assembly...

All lined up and ready to go back to class... his friend Nathan is peeking out from behind him.

Deacon did awesome going back and only looked back once, waved real big and said "Bye Mama!" What a big boy... so proud of him. Now what to do with all of this time with Faith Clare. I think we're both going to miss him!

"Guide me in your truth and teach me, O Lord, for you are God my Father and my hope is in you all day long."- Psalm 25:5

Glad he had a great first day back. So much better to be able to leave them smiling and happy! I teach preschool and one of the children in my class cried every day for 4 months...I kid you not....and I tried every trick in the book. He suddenly stopped and was happy as a clam. One of those 'hmmm' moments! Hope Deacon has a terrific year!

Looks like quite the affair! How great to have pix of it all! And he does appear to be all smiles - which just makes is easier for everyone...

Thanks for sharing!

You're right. Thanks... he doesn't buckle himself in too often but when he does I usually catch it the low clip. Oops.
