Ben’s Big Day!

Today, he started pre-school and I don’t think it could have been possible for him to be more excited.  He was so stinkin’ cute!  Wayne had to work this morning, so Jack and I took Ben to school.  He insisted that we call it school and not pre-school. 

I was a little worried that there might be a few tears, but there weren’t!  Ben was a little bit apprehensive about entering the classroom.  But it didn’t’ take a whole lot of convincing to get him in the room.  Then Ben and Jack cruised around the classroom and took it all in.  Lots of fun stuff to do and play with.  The dinosaurs were a hit.  When it was time for me and Jack to leave, I was at the door and Ben called out because he wanted one more hug.  He has his mommy wrapped around his little finger (and I’m pretty sure he knows it).

Ben wanted absolutely nothing to do with either of his teachers, so they gave him some space and he came around in his own time.  They told me that he was quiet (imagine that!) and kept to himself for awhile and then warmed up and started playing with the other kids.

I cracked up when I picked him up from school and he told me that his teacher was Mrs. Black (who was Jack’s kindergarten teacher last year, and looks nothing even remotely similar to either one of his teachers).
