First Day of Preschool

We saw a post on the local facebook page about spots opening in a preschool.... so after much thought we decided that even if we move during the semester, Dawson is ready for school and socially & emotionally we felt that he really needed to go to preschool. So we registered him and he's started. He was SOO excited!

And of course I had to get first day of school pictures! Here's Dawson and his daddy! J.D. was pretty emotional and had some tears because his little man is old enough for school. They grow up too fast!

Here's Dawson and me. Yes- I did dye my hair dark with some red.... which I love! I can't believe how proud I could be of him. He is so smart and couldn't be more happy about FINALLY going to school.

Dawson kept asking if 'it was school time yet?' and 'how proud he was of his mom and dad for being so excited for him to go to school.' He was kind of sad because he didn't have a backpack yet, but we did get one after he got out of school. He woke up and had no resistance of brushing teeth or doing his hair. He was ecstatic!

I dropped him off and he even gave me a kiss on the cheek to say goodbye. He wasn't sad at all! His teacher was so sweet and when I picked Dawson up she said, "He was SO good! He was the best one ...literally." It made my heart melt and once again I was so proud of him. He showed me his papers and already knew the letter 'A'! 

When we went to get a back pack he picked out a cute little red and black backpack that he wouldn't take off. He is so proud of it! He loves the idea of going to school and is so open minded of learning. He has definitely stepped up in so many ways. 

Dawson we love you and are so proud of the person you are becoming. We are sad you are growing up so fast and becoming more independent, but it's okay. We are so grateful for you and the happiness your bring us!
