First Day of Preschool

Ryan was beside himself when Ty went off to school last week without him.  Ryan LOVES his big brother- and one is rarely seen without the other around here- so when Ty was off to have a new adventure without Ryan by his side- Ryan was pretty sad.  I had to keep reminding him that his school started next week- but it just wasn't soon enough for him.  

Finally- Tuesday came and Ryan got up extra early because he didn't want to be late (we're talking 6:00- and school doesn't start until 9).  

Can you see the excitement?!

 When we finally made it to the school- he practically leapt out of the car and kept jumping up and down, telling me to hurry.  I giggled to myself- now he knows how I feel most of the time!  But, we did make it inside and Ryan wasted no time in finding the toys in his classroom.  He was mostly impressed by their vast collection of trucks.

 He was introduced to his teachers, who showed him around the room and most impressively, his bag hook and cubby.  He was assigned to the "Kite" cubby.

 Here he is showing off his new bag...

I'm glad Ryan gets a chance to go to preschool so that he has something that is just his- and something that he can share with Ty at the end of the day, instead of it always being the other way around.  I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that he has to go to this particular preschool- it is a fantastic facility with great teachers and I know he will thrive!
