Scout started preschool yesterday. He was SOOOO excited until bedtime the night before school started. Then he started asking questions like, "What if I miss you?" and " What if I get sad?" So I wasn't sure how drop off would go -- and since I was going to have Flora, Timber, and Logan with me I knew I wouldn't be able to handle a meltdown very well.
But he did great! He woke up excited and couldn't wait to go to school. He walked right to his classroom and gave his teacher a hug. I said goodbye and quickly left while he was searching for the backpack hook with his name on it. Then I sat in the van watching in the window until I saw his little red head bopping around the classroom.
And we left. And it was that easy! Yea!!
Scout's favorite part of preschool: "Naptime." Hmm...
Scout's least favorite part of preschool: "Nothing. It was all good." :)
Timber gave Scout a BIG hug when he got home from school and Scout told him all about his day. Then we ate the special after-school cupcakes that Scout had picked out and gave Scout his first-day-of-school surprise (an Angry Bird toy).

The only problem? Now Timber wants to go to school and he still has two years to wait until he starts preschool. I might just let him pick out a lunchbox to feel included. If I'm packing two lunches in the morning it probably wouldn't be too hard to go ahead and pack three. ;)
So that's where I am now. Packing school lunches. Checking backpacks for homework. A big change from the days when synchronizing three naptimes was my top priority!
