A Preschooler?!?

Yes he is!! Ryan's first day of preschool was this afternoon! We've been counting down with a special activity calendar that his teacher sent this summer. He was more than ready to go. The picture above was taken just before we left with his favorite toy of the week. A "daddy-made" Larryboy(veggie tales) "suction ear"! The most exciting thing since Buzz Lightyear!

So... what a great surprise to find Larryboy on the wall at school!!! Who could have picked a better school, huh? :)

Yes, it's only preschool... but the choice has been stressful, at least for one of his parents. Can you guess which one? We applied for this school that was highly recommended back in December. However they only had their afternoon program open. I thought... oh, he'll be done with naps by next September.... I was wrong. We still very much need them. But, hey, it is only 2 afternoons a week. We will survive... but will his teachers :)? Actually, he did really well today. Steve is correct though... Ryan does great as long as he is occupied and has a task to accomplish. But look what happens once we're home...This little guy NEVER falls asleep just sitting on the couch looking at books! Guess we'll be adjusting schedules as the year progresses!

He said on the way home, "This is the best day ever!" We've had several of those lately! Oh, if we all could live life each day with the same motto :)!
