The Last First First Day of Preschool

Tuesday was an exciting day in our house - we had our last first first day of preschool. Like his sister, because of his birthday, Cooper will likely go to preschool for three years. This first year is only one day a week. Next year, he'll go two days a week. And the following he'll go three days a week. And then finally, in 2010 (YIKES!) he'll start kindergarten.

But Tuesday was just the first first day of preschool. He's going to Park Street, where Abby went last year and where a friend from church is the director. Which worked out well on Tuesday. See, I've been kind of hesitant to send him because he's not entirely potty-trained yet. Close, but ... Anyway, Kathy insisted he do fine. So Monday night we went to Open House. He wet his pants there. Tuesday morning he was dressed and ready to go. He pooped his pants. WE got to school and he immediately forgot we were there and went to playing. I'm sure it helped that he was used to being there when Abby was.

Abby and I enjoyed some Mommy-Daughter time together. At some point it hit me that the first time I took her to preschool (when Carpenter's Kids was still only Thursday School), I was pregnant with him. Wow.

At 12:30, she, Jimmy and I went to the school to pick him up. We found him wearing different clothes then we sent him in. I'm thinking, "He peeed (how many e's are in peeeeed?) his pants." Actually, he threw-up. All over the front of Kathy.

He's traumatized, I'm sure. I see drop-out in his future.

Well, here's some pictures from that morning. Before the vomit.
