catching up... Preschool

After debating and searching and thinking and praying and checking out preschools vs. no preschool I got a letter in the mail from a kindergarden teacher in the stake who was "pink slipped" (told she might not/might have a job but to just wait around and they would call if they need her) because of all the crazy budget cuts around here. So she decided to do a pre-k out of her home. I called and met her and she was just wonderful! She taught preschool, has had 6 kids of her own, homeschooled two of them for a year or two, a member, would only have 6 kids in each of her classes, I could do tues./thurs. and was the best price to top it all off! My only worry was the distance, and really after driving it the 15 minutes doesn't bother me at all! It really has been absolutely perfect for him and he LOVES it! AND to top it off 4 out of the 6 kids in his class are in our ward so he is with his friends which also means that there is only 2 kids extra that he sees to bring home germs for Mckinley. AND if that wasn't enough his teacher is Absolutely perfect! He has come home with the cutest things, always has so much fun, and she has been able to tell me what he needs to work on (handwriting which was my nemisis too!). It was definitely an answer to prayers!!

Here he is his first day (this is his favorite outfit...with the super fast cars....)

Every time they come they find their name and pop their picture in their pocket

Sadly this cute picture was ruined due to my lack of photo skills, but he has such a happy smile I still love it

The first day they met the bunnies (now Harrison wants a bunny named "poopsey" and never tires of laughing at the name)

His expression after his first day says it all! This is a keeper!!!

Mckinley actually cried the whole way home, so I don't know if it was the sun in her eyes or the empty seat next to her. She joined in the fun when we went to pick him up.

Too bad I can't hire her next year...
