Joey starts Preschool

Back in February my neighbor messaged me and said she had an opening in her 3 year old preschool class. I was shocked because her waiting list is YEARS long.  I'm not joking. Peter has been on her waiting list since he was 2 months old.  I wasn't going to send him, but I knew if I wanted him in her 4's class he would have to start in the 3's class so he could get on her early sign up list.  Man, you have to have stuff figured out as a parent!  My poor kids haha.  I'm doing the best I can!

I am so glad I signed him up because his birthday came around and I could tell he was ready for something of his own.  Preschool has made him feel like such a big kid!

His back to school day was pirate themed!  His invitation came in a water bottle, scrolled up with burnt edges and everything.  Joey talked for days about how there would be sharks, bad guys, nemo and all things pirate at his new school.  His stories had us laughing everyday!  This kid has a wild imagination!

Joey's school started 2 weeks after Charlie's.  Oh man, it was such a long wait!  He could not understand why he couldn't go as well!  Finally his day arrived and boy was he excited! We had a special dinner for Joey the night before and he received a priesthood blessing afterwards.

We had a special breakfast to celebrate both boys being in school on his first day.  He was ready to go!

First day of school with his bag!

He has a little binder that he can trace letters in and then wipe off.  I try to have him practice, but he's more interested in playing and that's fine by me!  Joey loves school but usually all I hear about is what they had for snacks that day.  Nobody loves snacks more than Joey.  I'm so happy Joey gets to have something that's special for him and separate from his brothers.  A middle child needs that!  I love seeing the crafts and fun things he does each day.  That Joey, he's a cutie!
