Carter's First Day of School

Carter had his first day of preschool today! Here he is all ready to go.

He was excited to go to school, but once we got there he seemed a little shy and timid. He didn't seem scared or worried, just a little reserved. Eric came with us because he was leaving today for a 4-day business trip, an won't see Carter until Friday night. He told us all goodbye and walked into the classroom with no hesitation. All day long I was sitting at home wondering how he was doing and hoping he wasn't sad, scared, behaving badly or missing me too much. I was really excited to go pick him up, but really didn't know what to expect when I got there. I poked my head into the classroom once I arrived, and he was having fun blowing bubbles with his classmates, laughing and smiling ear to ear. Once he saw me, he gave me a big grin and said, "Mommyyyyy!" And he was really excited to see Ella.... he even told me he missed her! His teacher said he had a great day. She said he fit right in and it seemed like he had been there forever!! I was happy to hear such a great report! On the way home, he told me all about his day. He did watercolors, sang songs, read a book, ate all his lunch, plus his cookie, and rested. Overall, it sounds like he had a wonderful day. And Ella and I did too! We didn't do much, just hung out at home and got all our laundry done! We'll have to skype with Eric later on so Carter can tell him all about his first day of school. I am looking forward to spending the evening with my boy... I missed him today! But I'm also looking forward to his next school day.  =)
