Exciting Firsts!!!

 

Big news coming from the Taylor House...Mac started preschool!!!  I am incredibly excited for him!  Long story short, a local school needed a school nurse sub once a week.  Along with the sub job, they allowed Mac to enroll in their preschool program (he technically missed the deadline to enroll beacuse his birthday is Sept 30).  Not only was I thrilled to have a little something for me to do to make a little money (answered prayer!) but it couldn't have been any better since Mac can go to school.  When I asked him if he would like to go to school, he said "Oh, my! Yes!! I have waited and waited and waited and waited to go to school!"

 

He was so proud to be able to take a lunch box and bookbag with him.  He did extremely well, especially considering the church nursery is the only other place he has ever been.  He did, however, have a little trouble transitioning from one activity station to another.  On a few occasions when his teacher told him it was time to move to another activity, he looked at her and said "that is not the truth."  And told her that over and over.  The teacher so sweetly explained that she would never tell him a story and by the end of the day he had the hang of switching from one thing to another.  That kid! :)

 

SO PROUD!!!  (it's dark out because I actually didn't think to take pictures until we got home that evening)

His activities that he learned

He had to trace the colors in the correct lines on the rainbow and he practiced writing his name.  He practices all the time now saying "up, down. up, down. make a circle with a stick. and make a curve." Love how much he learned in one day!

Practiced writing "R"...and using more pressure when writing! (if you look close, you can see the first line is traced)

Mac and Mommy's first day as a student and a school nurse

Drew stayed with Mrs. Julie who watched the boys some while I gave flu shots in the fall.  He loves going to her house and playing with the other kids.

Mac's daily "report card" from his first day.  One proud mama right here!

 

I can't resist a picture with a huge giggle laugh!
