Ready or not...Preschool has begun!

It seems as if this day has snuck up on me. I have been ready for this day as far as school clothes shopping and having all of the necessary paperwork but I have been dreading this day since Kane entered my world. He was so excited about being a big boy and going to school so I tried not to rain on his parade. After all, he's been wearing his new bookbag for weeks now asking if he can go to school yet.

We woke up and had star pancakes for my "star student". He just loves when I surprise him and make shapes out of his pancakes. Then we got dressed and ready to go.

On the way to school he started to sound sad. I asked him what was wrong and he told me he misses Catherine. If you have known, you would know that Catherine was his absolute best friend since he was probably a year old. He hasn't seen her since we lived in Mississippi but he surely hasn't forgotten her.

If you know Kane you know how shy he can be at first. He was even shy to our neighbor that he just adores when we saw him at school so this got me a little worried. He found his cubby and put his jacket and bookbag up and was able to play and get comfortable. I told him bye...daddy told him bye...I had to say bye again and then of course kohen HAD to say bye. Kane played while kohen threw a fit he wanted to play on the school playground. I cried the whole way home while Kael looked at me like I was crazy. He didn't understand why I was crying for dropping Kane off for a whole 2 1/2 hours. Haha! Let me just say, I counted down the minutes to pick him up and even arrived early!! Once I got to school to pick him up he was playing on the playground and kohen and I watched him take a ride on a school bus and learn bus safety. Kohen was so excited to see Kane get off the bus that he ran to him but Kane stopped him and told him that he was still in school. Kane says he loved school and he's willing to go back tomorrow so I guess that's a good thing.

He will be riding in a trikeathon that raises money for St Jude's hospital if anyone would like to donate you can at mytrikeathon.org/KaneP

Well, we are off to the nature center to take pictures and get Kane a new cat in the hat book as a happy for school. I love the fact my kids get excited about new books and they just love love love cat in the hat. I hope they always love books. :)

Here are some pictures of our exciting morning...again, I'm not sure why they aren't in the order I put them??
