It is a bittersweet day today. As we celebrate an exciting milestone for Tyler we also mourn the loss of a beautiful women of God, wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and person dear to our hearts, Carol Childs. She was a close friend of our family and will be missed.
Today was Tyler's first day of preschool and it was a blessed day for that reason. He first was apprehensive about going to school, but I left him alone for a few minutes in his room and next thing I know he was dashing through my room dress and ready to go, asking me every five minutes if it was time to go. He got his backpack on, posed pleasantly for photos and we were off. Daddy met us at the school and it wasn't long before Tyler did not even notice us there. His teachers Mrs. Perth and Mrs. Fitzue greeted him and right off the bat established a routine...wash hands, puts backpack in cubby, turn in any paperwork, and free play. We exited with ease and it was a very smooth transition. He was there an hour and fifteen minutes for a first day orientation. I came back to pick him from his first day and he was gleaming. He is going to love it.
His highlights included: Seeing his friend Candace, playing with the"digger", reading a story and taking his backpack.
