Preschool

It's official.  My Christian Daniel is in preschool.  He is a big boy.

His first day of school was his birthday.  He turned four and started preschool. 

Where did the time go?

Danny went to the same school, with the same view of the hills behind Christian in this picture.

A reminder of the agricultural presence in our community.  The kids can watch farmers work from the playground.

When the kids first arrive, they find their nametag and place it under the corresponding letter of the alphabet.

Christian routinely takes any other "C" names down, and puts his name at the top of the list.

There are several windows at child height to allow them to look at the Discovery playground (a science play area)

So far Christian has enjoyed the three hours of preschool that he gets to go to daily.  I have as well, as I get to spend those hours teaching my little Jonny.  I love hearing Christian's stories as I pick him up at lunchtime (today it was "I got to play with a pretty girl.  I don't know her name.  She's my girl."), and I especially enjoy the naps he is taking now (2 1/2 hours!).

I am so thankful that my Christian gets to go to preschool in such a special place.  He is playing on the same playgrounds his daddy did.  What a blessed happenstance.
