One week down

We survived the first week of school! As most of you know, Champs started at Eastminster Day School on Monday.  This is the pre-school at our church, and one of the great programs in town.  We were really excited for him to get in this year, but very nervous and anxious too, since he had such a great year with Pat.  

I want to write this post now b/c I hope it's not too far away, that I go back and look at this and laugh b/c things are so easy breezy at school then! :)

The first week was kinda tough!  Champs has really never cried when I left him b/c it's always been with either Pat, grandparents or a babysitter at his house.  So that was hard on me this week, but I know he didn't cry long, b/c luckily I have friends who drop off after me!  Aside from that, the number one challenge is Champs is so tired by mid morning and I know he is super fussy, and then is falling asleep through lunch at noon.  Once he got his nap, they said he had great afternoons! So he will do much better when he's adjusted to not napping until 12:30!

I felt so much better by the end of the week b/c we had Parents Night at the school on Thurs night and then on Friday I took snack to the class in honor of Champs' birthday (a little late since his bday was last weekend).

I loved getting to know the teachers better.  They are so so sweet.  I know it's going to be a great year and it makes me really happy to hear all that he will learn and see all the friends he will make.  It is funny that his class is predominately GIRLS!!  So he will have lots of girlfriends!  I should mention his cousin Julia (Joan's younger daughter) is in his class part-time so that of course makes me happy!

The teachers said Friday was his best day all week, so I'm optimistic things will keep going this way!  Here are a few pics from Friday when I visited his class!

We're ready for ya Week 2!!
