preschool

the day finally arrived....eli went to preschool today. sniff, sniff.....of course i had every doubt in my head leading up to this day, and even more on this day, that eli wasn't ready. that he needed to be home with me another year to really build his foundation. lets just say i am still unsure.

we got his backpack two weeks ago and the first time he tried it on, he refused any help. and he knew exactly how to put it on perfectly. i thought he would have to be told how. i thought he would need help. alas, he is an independent boy.


the preschool he goes to had an open house the first day so evangeline and i went with him while he got acquainted with his teachers, new friends and new classroom. he had to be told some of the rules, like no running in the classroom. but overall he liked it, especially the big gym that has slides, toys, bikes and shopping carts to play with.

he is very excited about school....i am not. of course the worried mother in me frets that he will bring home bad habits, that kids will bully him, that he will get swine flu! but i need to trust in the Lord that He will take care of my little, precious, precocious boy. the bible verse of the month that Eli will be taught is "We are God's children." amen to that.
