The Prince Did Great!


The Prince had his very first day of pre-school and he did GREAT! He said that he loved it and is ready, willing, and able to go back on Thursday! It was a super crazy day getting him there. Because we left for Iowa two days after we signed him up for pre-school, I had no time to get some of the items needed for him to start school.

This morning I was calling his pediatrician by 7:00AM in at attempt to get his immunization records. I was hoping that they would fax them to the school, but nope! So we headed out around 8:00 to the clinic. I was able to convince them to make the copy right then and there instead of making me wait the standard 3 days. (Yippee!) Then we had to race back home because I forgot to make the Prince's lunch. After making that, we headed to his pre-school where we were 10 minutes early. After dropping him off, the Knight and I headed to Wal-mart to pick up a nap mat. Because we are not at the beginning of the school year, there were no cute little kid ones so I settled for a camping mat. The Knight and I raced back to pre-school to drop that off. I was secretly glad to have the excuse to check up on my little Prince! He was doing great! The Knight and I headed out to get groceries from there. Grocery shopping with one child was not the heavenly experience I had been dreaming of, but it was better than shopping with two! The Knight snagged a quick nap, and we headed out to get the Prince by 2:00. We were early again because I didn't want the Prince to worry. From there we headed to Princess's school to pick her up and take her to Brownies. We dropped her off at 3:00 and then headed home. We picked her up at 4:30 and headed home again, this time to make supper. Yikes! What a day!

Bottom line: The Prince did great! It was so hard to leave him, but I managed to not cry. I truly am glad that pre-school is only 2 days a week. It will be good for him to have his own thing and not be following his sister, at least in this one thing.

Tomorrow: Basketball for the Prince!
