Parker's First Day of Preschool (Year 2)

Parker has started another year of school! He was a little nervous going into this year and not exactly sure why. Maybe it is because he realized about a week ago that Mrs. Hall and Ms. Wilbur were not going to be his teacher this year. He said he was excited to see them again, and I said they weren't gonig to be his teachers this year. "WHAT?!?" Oh yea...I guess he wouldn't know that he gets a new teacher every year. But his new teacher's Mrs. Webb (below) and Mrs. McCalla (didn't get a picture of her darn it!) seem super nice. He got to meet them last week at Meet Your Teacher. Another reason he might be anticipating this year more than last is because his buddy Caden is not in his class this year. But we did find out his friend Javien from last year is in his class. Also a girl named Lily that also is in Parker's Sunday School class is in there too. So he has a couple of buddies in there. At the end of his first day of school, he also mentioned a "boy in a red shirt" that was nice. Sounds like he is making new friends!

Caden isn't in Parker's class, but he still stopped by on Meet Your Teacher night, so I had to grab a picture or two!

 

For Parker's first day, I took the morning off to take him to school. I also told him I would take him out for breakfast. The morning was a little hectic - again, Parker wasn't the most excited to go and then traffic was terrible (and I almost forgot the most important part - his backpack. Duh MOM!). So as I'm heading up Kellogg moving the speed of a snail and wondering how I'm going to get breakfast and get Parker to school on time. I ask Parker where he wants to go for breakfast - IHop, Village Inn, Jimmy's Egg...and Parker says "does Donalds have breakfast?" AWESOME! So much faster than the other places! Maybe he could tell I was stressed LOL! So we went there and he LOVED it! We even got to school early and I snapped some pictures before it got crowded. And when it was time to say goodbye - NO PROBLEM! He gave me a high five and he was gone. Such a big boy!

And yes...Parker has a black eye. He got it last week at Tammy's house. He walked in front of a kid swinging. Hopefully he learned his lesson there - OUCH!
