Back to School

Today was Owen's first day at preschool. It was a short day to help the kids get used to it. Owen did great and so did I. I cried about the first five times last year and Owen cried the first three times. There was no tears. I walked him in, he said hi to the teacher, hung up his bag and ran in to play. Went right up to some girl and asked so nicely, "May I please play with you?" I really wanted to say bye and get a kiss but I knew better, just let it be.

He had a huge smile on his face when I picked him up and told me he had a lot of fun. Just like last year he did not indulge all the details I want but this is what he told me.
1- He went potty and pulled his undies up himself. And that he pulled them down to his shoes. (This is huge as he will never do this at home and has to be able to for school.)
2- He played in the sandbox.
3- He shared the trains with some boy.
4- "I had fun and I was nice, Mommy."
5- He also asked me to name all the girls in his class.

I had planned on taking more pictures of the big day but Owen had no desire to stop and allow me this pleasure, he wanted to get in to his class.
