Spencer's First Day of Preschool

Well, Spencer's first day of preschool was a hectic one. At 3:30 am we found out that we leave for China in FOUR days, so i was a tad bit distracted.

The Fletchers needed me to keep Ryan Ashton early at 7:30 instead of the usual 9:30. And jeremy was in Minnesota.

So i was running all over the house trying make sure that all loose ends were tied up. I discovered that my digital camera would not turn on, even though i had charged it for a day. Thus i had no way to take the traditional "headed to school" photo. (at least we still have real kindergarten for that) :) And as you can see Jeremy was able to fix the camera so all is well for china trip.

Spencer slept til 9:00 and needed to be to his class at 9:20 and i had to tote Ryan Ashton with us so we were all a bit frazzled by time we made it to Mrs. Kathy and Mrs. Susan. His teachers had a polaroid so they took this photo of him on the car mat. They and Spencer each told me that he had a fun day, but when he saw me he smiled and said, "Mama, I'm ready to go home." When I asked him what he did at school, Spencer replied "played with cars, played with toys and played on playground." I know that he also ate lunch bc his PB&J was smeared on his face. And I know that he did artwork bc it was in his diaper bag. Who knows what else he did bc all that he found important was Play.

Thank you to the GrandDuncans who called us up in August and said they would like to bankroll preschool for Spencer this year. So we quickly chose Northminster Presbyterian bc our culdesac neighbor teaches there and bc it is located immediately outside our neighborhood. His class has five girls and three boys, and Spencer is the youngest. He will be going to school on Wednesday and Friday mornings.
