Lots of firsts for George this week!
Yesterday George started school at Evergreen Academy. The plan had been that he would go to summer camp there with Abigail, but camp is for 3-5 year olds, and although they were willing to give him an age exception, we decided instead to enroll him now-August in the Early Preschool.
This way he's able to socialize with kids his own age, and I have someone helping me potty train him ;)
Yesterday was great! Kevin took him to school and he walked right in, took his teacher's hand, and was off. When I came to get him at noon, he was sitting at a table eating lunch with friends, and as he heard me come in, he turned happily to greet me: "mama!" He did however get reprimanded by the teacher on his way out when he pushed another little boy who was in his way. Asserting himself is not an issue for George!
Today, however, he was shy. Kevin says he hid behind his hands and didn't engage as quickly (which is to be expected, but it still pulls at my heart strings). I'm going to pick him up in an hour, so I'm hoping he warmed up and had a great day.
Here are some pictures from yesterday. I took him to the front step for first day of school pictures. At first he refused to turn around, so I have some funny ones ;)
This boy. He slays me.
