On the 1st Day

I spent most of the day yesterday watching the clock and wondering what Matthew was doing at preschool.  I even broke down and called the school to check on him (because they said I could call anytime). 

When we went to pick him up, I made Steve wait outside of the classroom while I went to get Matthew.  I didn't want Matthew to think I was the bad parent that dropped him off and Daddy comes and rescues him!  Ha!

Matthew was so excited to see me when I walked in.  He was reading a book and his little face just lit up.  He wanted to show me all the books and ALL the toys in the room.  Then daddy came in and he was even more excited! 

Here he is showing daddy all the animals painted on the wall. 

Matthew showed us some of his toys in the room.  He was pretty good at matching up the balls to the correct color rings, then whacking it with the little hammer. 

Here's his first day report.
Made me a little sad that he was fussy at times, but it's expected for his first day.
And he didn't eat lunch, but did eat his chocolate chip cookies at snack time!
He took a long nap too!

Since he didn't eat lunch, he was so hungry when we picked him up.  We took him to dinner and then we got froyo at SweetFrog. 

I think he deserved it!
(and mama too)
Daddy 'helped' Matthew draw on the chalboard. 
Matthew LOVES the chalkboard at SweetFrog.

Overall, I think he had a good 1st day!
Although I missed him like crazy, I know it's good for him to be in preschool.

I'm so glad that he did well and that you can rest a bit easier now, knowing he's enjoyed himself.

I love his little face while eating the yogurt! He's just so cute.

I hope today was easier.

How did you get blogger to cooperate with your pictures again?

He is so cute. It is always tough the first few days. Not really much for the kid but more for the parents.
