Preston Starts Preschool!

Preston started all day preschool last Monday. He loves it! He asks, "after breakfast can I go on the bus to school?" Yesiree! He loves riding the bus and then comes home wanting milk and a snack. Then he usually wants to take a nap and says, "I'm so tired." He should be. The bus picks him up at 8:30am and drops him off at 3pm. He has the same teacher, Mrs. Christine, as last year and she's nice. (He was in her class during summer school 2 summers ago and she recruited him for her preschool class at a different school. His 1st preschool teacher was moving so we made the switch.) She really likes Preston so what more could you ask for in a teacher. The class he attends is called flex preschool where there are 4 developmentally delayed kids, 4 autistic kids and 4 typical kids (normal kids from the community). The last 2 years he was one of the DD kids, but since he was diagnosed with autism in April, he now qualifies for all day. He turns 5 in October so he's ready for it. Oh and his glasses broke the day before at Church so he didn't have them for the first day.

Showing off his new backpack he LOVES

And he doesn't want his new lunchbox in his backpack because he likes to carry it. :)

My sidekick wanted her picture taken. (We had just repainted the porch and railing so the table and chairs were off the porch. Doesn't it look nice?!)

His bus driver in the morning is Sid and he's nice. Kate wishes she could ride the bus. This bus doesn't have seat belts and he is doing good so far about staying in his seat. That was an issue before. His first year of preschool he started out in a harness seatbelt then graduated to a lap seat belt. One bus driver was super strict with him. So it's been a journey. He still loves the bus though.

Kate wanted to show her new backpack. She saw this at Target before school, but it was waayyy too much money, more than I wanted to spend on a backpack. Plus, her other one was okay still, stuff was falling apart on the inside, but it still functioned. Well, I was at Target and saw they had backpacks on clearance (we got Preston's then too) so I couldn't resist buying it for her. And they only had 1 of them! It was meant to be. haha! She was SO excited when she came home from school and saw it. 

Coming home from the first day of school! Sherry is his bus driver that brings him home. She is nice and always says hi to Lindsey. It should be a good year Buddy!
