Sonny started preschool today and he was very excited! We were referred to a school by Alexya's former Kindergarten teacher and so we went to check it out last week. They only had one spot open, so we grabbed it! Sonny loved it on our visit so much that he was asking every day when he could go to school...and was up and dressed with shoes and backpack on waiting by the front door at 7:45. We dropped off Alexya at school then took Sonny to school. As soon as we got there he walks in and says "bye mom, bye dad." We're like "wait, we have to talk to your teacher, it's your first day!" He didn't even know where to put his stuff yet!
Anyway, he had a great day and the school is really wonderful!! We really lucked out, it's way better than the preschool Alexya went to and the same price!! They have 5 different rooms and teachers and they do different activities in each room like: homeroom/letters/language, dress up/dramatic play, arts & crafts, math & science, and music! And they have a huge outdoor/covered play area with so many things to do. It's really amazing and Sonny was non-stop talking about all the stuff he did the whole way home from picking him up (15 min drive).
The other great thing is that since Alexya has so many friends, Sonny really wants some of his own friends...so this is a great opportunity for him and he pointed out some of his "preschool friends" even before talking to them this morning. ;)
Here are some pics of Alexya & Sonny in their halloween costumes (princess and iron man...when he takes the mask off, he's tony stark)
She is beautiful and gets in trouble and he saves her, is what they told me.
Sonny loves this picture because it looks like his heart is glowing so he's "actually real!"
Alexya had a "big wheels day" at her school where the kids got to see up close, all the big trucks and stuff they normally don't get to see like....
...Sonny's favorite, the Police Motorcycle...
...sit in the police car...
...stand in front of a bus (and not get run over)...
...drive a garbage truck...
...and after an exhausting day of exploring they get to relax and enjoy popcorn and lemonade. BTW I didn't include the photo of them in the ambulance because they were so excited to be inside "daddy's work" that they would NOT STAND STILL!!
