The First Day of School

The first day at his new school that is... Today was Visiting Day, so Dave and I got to go to school with Alex. We met his teachers and several of his classmates and their parents. Even though the setting is new, there were enough familiar aspects (books, blocks, a doll house, etc.) that he seemed to feel comfortable pretty quickly. We'll see how that holds up tomorrow, which is the first day he will be dropped off.

Walking to school with Daddy

At the gate

So excited!

Hanging up his backpack and coat on his hooks

Journal writing/drawing -- he did a whale

Putting his binder with his classmates'

Always happy to play with playdoh

We could hardly get him to leave the play space.

This is actually the building next door,
but it makes for a better picture.
