I think Will was feeling a little lost and left out since the girls started school. I know he enjoyed his time with me, but he asks several times a day when the girls are coming home. He misses having built-in playmates around. Of course, it doesn't take long after they get home for some kind of fight to break out and make me wonder why we were both so anxious to get everyone home!
On Tuesday, Will had meet the teacher for his new preschool class. He's in the 4's this year, and his teachers are Ms. Linda and Ms. Brenda. We were thrilled with that because Allison had the same teachers when she was in the 4's, and we absolutely loved them. Caroline had a different set of teachers, and we loved them, as well, so we were in a win-win situation with whatever set of teachers Will was lucky enough to get. Mom was happy, too, because two good mom friends are in the class, along with their little girls. At our preschool they have several classes for each age, and within the age, the classes are broken down by young 3s, middle 3s, older 3s, etc. When they get to the 4s, they mix up the classes with all different stages of 4 year olds since that's what Kindergarten is like. Will just turned 4, and there are kids in there that will turn 5 very soon, so it will be interesting to see how Will does. We just want him to have fun and enjoy learning. I also hope this will be the year that he develops some friendships with some of the boys in the class. Today was his first day, and he was very excited to get his turn at going to school. Of course, he walked right in and didn't look back. Since preschool is at our church, he is so comfortable and always seems to enjoy being there. He said he had a super fun day and enjoyed playing outside the most.
After dropping Will off, I made a quick trip to Target and then headed up to school to have lunch for the first time with Caroline. She was excited to see me, and I enjoyed talking to her new friends. With five Kindergarten classes in the lunchroom there was a lot of energy in the room! I really admire all of those Kindergarten teachers. I am co-chairing Publicity for the school PTO this year, so I met my co-chair at the school to begin putting up the HUGE bulletin board in one of the hallways. This bulletin board will showcase all of the events going on at the school throughout the year. I'm not sure exactly how I ended up with this role since bulletin boards have never been a strong point of mine. The position also involves submitting articles to the newspaper about Carroll Elementary, and this is much more up my alley! We were able to get up a base on the wall to start with, and then it was time to go and get Will. The time went fast, but it was fun being on my own for a few hours and working on something at the school.
We started more of our activities this week, and next week I believe the homework will really hit! First we are going to enjoy our weekend and the girl's first soccer games.
