My Little Happy Apple

Jimmie started preschool today.
My baby's first day of school...pretty monumental for a sentimental boob like myself. He attends an at home preschool called, "Happy Apple Preschool" and has two teachers both of whom attend my church. The head teacher, Laura runs a tight ship, is super structured and organized, and has been in the game for ten years. The cherry on top of the whole deal is she only charges $70 bucks (per month) for two days a week whereas most Ahwatukee (the suburb of Phoenix we live in) preschools charge at least $150 and up to $230 for two or three days a week. Amen to cheap!

Here he is...my little preschooler:
He didn't even remotely hesitate. Gave me a kiss and said, "See ya, Mom!" Turned and walked away.

I'm so proud of my confident, capable, happy little apple :)

Look at the little smoothie with the up-turned collar :) Yay for preschool!

Our preschool teacher (that all four of my kids went to but they're done now!) also charged $70 for two days a week; it's great to be able to find a cheap one that you also know will be a good one.

Yay! What a cute little man.
And double yay for cheap!

I enrolled Lily in preschool only to un-enroll the next day. I just couldn't do it, I'm not ready! But I have a little more time, so until next year.

Wow, what a big day! That is so exciting. It is so fun to see your kids grow and become strong and independent. Kids are such a blessing. Your little Jimmie is just a doll and that smile just couldn't be cuter.
