Kiddie Garden

Today was our little Jackie's first day of preschool! He is going to Kiddie Garden preschool in Redwood City for 4 hours on Mondays and Thursdays. I am really excited about this little Christian preschool and the sweet staff. We did a trial day a few weeks ago and he seemed ready to dive right in. I really wanted one of those cute first day of school pictures on the front porch, but it was hard to get Jack to look up and hard to keep Cosette from stealing the lime-light. These are the best attempts.

 Our Jackson is so ready for preschool. He is curious, detailed, thoughtful, careful, tidy, thorough, gentle, methodical, engaging, emotionally driven, persistent, adaptable, and playful, not to mention we think he's the cutest thing.

 

 Cosette is mad that she can't hold his lunch box.

  Crazy little smile. It was hard to get us up and out for an 8am drop off, even though we are all up by 6:30. We have the habit of moving slowly through the morning, so it took a lot of planning to get out without having to rush them along through dressing and breakfast. We made it and drop off was as smooth as can be.

The sun was in his eyes, but here he is coming out after his first day.

The only person struggling with the whole thing was Cosette! That surprised me. She wanted to stay with Jackson at school and play with all of the toys. She has been getting feistier and stronger by the day. She's really hitting those "terrible twos" early and hard. This face says it all: "Let me DOOOO ITTT."

 Cosette is physical, nimble, reckless, fearless, joyful, strongly opinionated, fiercely independent, messy, tough, impatient, coordinated, quick, zany, talkative, and beautiful. Here she is showing her 8 crazy teeth.

Whatever you do, don't try to help her with anything that she could do on her own, or else...
