This was an exciting week for the Levine kids.
It started with on Monday with Avery's first day of 4 year-old preschool....
She was so excited!
She was hesitant when waiting outside the classroom door, but once her teacher introduced herself, Avery started talking about everything she could think of....what she had for breakfast, how her brother wakes her up at night with his crying, what book she read the night before, and so on.
I can't believe she will be going to kindergarden next year! This is blowing my mind!
The next day, was her first day back at dance. She was not at ALL hesitant for this! She got to meet up with a lot of her friends from last year's class.
Thursday was Grayson's "practice day" for his 2-year-old preschool (can you believe it?!?! Wasn't he just born!?!). I asked him to do the same type of poses with the signs, but he doesn't take direction quite as well as Avery!
He was pretty excited that he could use both his backpack AND umbrella on the same day.
Finding his "special hook"...
Avery and I have been "talking up" preschool all last week to get him excited. Once he saw the play dough, life was good. His "practice day" was only a hour and I got to stay with him the whole time.
Today was his first "real" day on his own. I had been dreading this day for months. He seems so little to be going off on his own. He cries when we drop him off for Sunday School, which is literally the same room as his classroom, so I didn't have high hopes for this morning. Much to our surprise, he walked right into the classroom and sat down at the play dough table!! Avery and I watched from outside....about 30 seconds later, he started crying when he realized we didn't go in with him. We waited outside the room for a few minutes and didn't hear him crying anymore. His teachers said he got a little sad a few times, but overall did great as long as he was kept busy. And Mommy didn't even shed a tear - big accomplishments for all of us!!!
