First Day of School

Today was the Open House at Evan's nursery school. Even though it wasn't technically the first day, Evan thought it was so we treated it that way. This morning when I told him it was time to get ready for school he said "Yeah. I can't let Denny go to school by himself" (Have I mentioned before just how sweet this kid is!) He was excited to see his teachers, Ms Caroline and Ms Janet, his new class bunny Marvin and all of his friends. He wanted to be sure that I wasn't going to leave him today. He insisted that I stay so he could show me around. He would go off and play with something for a few minutes and then come check to make sure I was still there. Next Tuesday will be the first day that I leave him. Even though we have done this before I know there will be tears (likely more from me than Evan) but he loves his teachers and he loves school so I know he will be fine.

Showing off his backpack. Last year he refused to even put it on, let alone carry it so this was a huge accomplishment this morning

So excited!
