Today was Target Boy's first day of preschool and he was beyond excited! He had his backpack packed and on two hours before we were supposed to leave. He got to pick out a new soccer pencil from our stash and wanted to take his workbook with him, but I convinced him to take a notebook instead (not that he needed either, but he felt cool).
As soon as he woke up he asked if he was five now, because we told him he could go to school when he was five. He was excited to learn (again) that he could go to preschool at four. As we talked about going to school, he told me that I was just supposed to walk him in and then go back to the house and he could ask his teacher her name, under no circumstance was I supposed to stay with him.
When we got there, he was just a little shy, but answered his teacher's questions and started asking his own, and pretty much shoved Target Baby, Target Girl, and I out of the door. Target Baby of course cried because he wanted to stay too. Class was only an hour long today(and the rest of this week), so when it got out Target Boy cried all the way to the car because he didn't want to go yet.
He had a great day and was so excited to meet his teacher and all of his new friends.

Oh Ashley, Jimmy's been in preschool for two weeks now and I still get tears in my eyes when I look around the house and there's no one to talk to.
I can't believe our little boys are getting so big.
I'm starting to cry right now!
