Grayson had his first day of preschool at Chalk and loved it. He went to bed early the night before so we could make sure we were on time for his first day. He likes to sleep in so I had to wake him up at 7am. When I told him he was going to his favorite jumping/slide place, Pump It Up, he started jumping up and down in excitement. They go every day from 9:15-9:45 for play time. Grayson got a new Batman backpack for school so he put several cars in it as well as his "favorite" lovey. He calls his favorite lovey "favorite" and it makes him feel better whenever he is sad or hurt. It's so cute how he rubs favorite on his boo boos and it always makes him feel better.
We took several pictures of Grayson holding the "first day of preschool" sign and some with Liam. We got to the school around 8:20 and I walked him to his room, hung out for a minute and gave him big hugs goodbye and told him I would be back to pick him up. He said bye, Momma and blew me kisses. When I called at 10am to check on him his teacher Ms. Maggie said after he realized I left (about 5 minutes later) he started crying. He got his "favorite" lovey out of his backpack and hugged him. He cried for about 10-15 minutes, but ended up putting favorite to sleep when they went to Pump It Up. After that, he did great and was participating in circle time singing songs and having fun. They also painted with purple paint, played with the toys (cars) and had lunch. He was eating when I got there and asked for seconds on the chicken and rice. He had pineapple and loved it and tried the cauliflower, but said it was yucky and didn't eat it. His teacher thanked him for trying it. He was so happy to see me and yelled out, "Hi Momma!" I was so excited to see him! He did great during his first day of school and seemed to have a great time. I asked him if he had fun and he said yes! When we walked out the director told him he did a great job during his first day of preschool and he shouted, "Thanks!" It was so cute. In the car on the way home I asked him if he wanted to go back and he said, "No." I then told him he would only be going once a week so I think that made him feel better.
