Well today marked the end of Jack's first week at his new school. I really feel like this is more of a school environment than a day care and I can tell that Jack knows the difference. He has had the best week. I asked him yesterday what he had been learning about all week (hoping he would tell me the letter that they had been learning) and he looked at me and said "Jesus, Mommy." Oh melt my heart. I know that he is learning a lot but I am so happy that he knows that learning about Jesus is the most important thing. Thank you Dr. Brunson, Shelly Taylor and Amie Shields for allowing my son to be excited about getting up every morning and going to school and excited about learning about Jesus. What an amazing start to a school year and to the beginning of his school career!

First Day of School
Well Monday was a very exciting day in our house but it was also one of much nervousness. I was worried that Jack would have the same problems that he did at his other daycare. Here he is all ready to leave the house:
He was so excited in the car the entire way down to the church. When we got there he said to me "No Mommy. Not to church, go to school." We are still working on separating the fact that school is during the week and church is on Sunday. Here is Jon and Jack going into the crosswalk to go to his class:
He was so excited when we got to his class. He helped me put his bag into his cubby. He then went running into his classroom. He had a friend in there and one of his teachers brought in a beta fish for the class. Jack and his friend were looking at the fish with a magnifying glass. It was so cute to watch them.
Jon and I left and went and had breakfast and then went home to clean a little and to just hang out. When we came in the door our dog (a 80lb black lab) was sitting at the top of the stairs and when we were all of the way up, he began looking for Jack. Stogey looked like he had lost his best friend. I sat down on the couch and he jumped up there and sat with me. Here he is looking sad:
We went back around 3:45 to pick Jack up and both of his teachers said that he had a very good first day. The past 2 days have been that way also. He is excited every morning about going to school and seeing his friends and learning about Jesus. The Lord has answered a huge prayer that I have had for the past couple of months.
For now.

End of Summer is here!
Well the end of summer is here (technically) - it is still 100 degrees outside. School starts on Monday. Jack is starting at FBC Junior Academy on Monday and he is sooooooo excited. I am excited too but I can't believe that my little boy is one year away from VPK. He is growing up way too fast. Also, in 3 weeks he will be starting U4 soccer. It is going to possibly be the funniest thing but all of his little equipment is adorable. We got him cleats, shinguards and socks - his socks are an XS kids sock and the only company that makes them is Adidas (at least they match his cleats). I will do a post on Monday and let you all know if I cry - I'm going with no but others are saying I will.
Have a great weekend.
