Preschool "Level 2"

Ethan started preschool today... hooray! He was so excited all morning, he told everyone at my OB appt that it was his first day of preschool, and he was in 'Level 2' this year. Did I mention this kid is not shy?
We are trying afternoon preschool this year at Lil Rascals- 3 days a week. I am actually relieved that we don't have to be up and out the door early in the morning, especially with a baby coming in a month. For example, Eli slept til 9:30am this morning and Ethan slept til after 10am. We would be really stressed and tired if we had morning preschool this year, since we are not usually early risers.
So I made Ethan get his hair done this morning... something both boys do not like and occasionally tolerate on Sundays. Ethan likes his hair 'soft' and not 'spikey'. On the drive Ethan asked me, "Why do the teachers want the students to look beautiful for the first day of preschool?" It was quite cute... I explained it was the mommys who want the kids to be beautiful because they want some cute pictures.

And Eli totally lost it at the orientation because he couldn't stay and participate. He kept saying, "My turn! My turn!" and freaking out. Good thing it was naptime or else we wouldn't have gotten along today.

The first day of school was a success! Ethan said he had a lot of fun and can't wait to go again tomorrow. Boy do they grow up fast... and to think this could have been kindergarten this year. I'm glad he'll be home til next fall.
