Kolten is officially growing up! His first day of preschool was August 19th, 2013.
He was super excited to start and go "meet new friends" Kolten NEEDS school in his life. Bryce and I had gone to a Parent Orientation the day before and were really impressed with his new school, so we were excited for him too.
The school wants you to use Canvas Bags instead of Backpacks, so it took a little getting used to for Kolten to hold it the right way!
The first day was technically orientation and Kolten only went for a thirty minute "test run." The parents got to attend this day also. On a "normal" day, they have a carpool line that you pull in and just drop them off/pick them up. At first this was super overwhelming for me to think off...you want me to WHAT??? Drop my 3 year old off at the door???? But he has actually done great with it and it is super convenient not having to take Beck in and out.
Kolten's teacher had sent him a letter in the mail welcoming him to class the first day of school and it had a purple butterfly in it for him to bring the first day of school. When he got there he was to look for the seat with a purple butterfly and this would be his seat for the year.
We had also brought a picture of him and they were called up one by one to staple it to the board in their classroom.
After that was story time..this is where we lost Kolten a little bit. They sat on a car mat during story time and Kolten could not understand why there were no cars to play with. He wanted to play cars NOT listen to the story. Of course EVERY other child sat there calmly and Kolten was laying on the ground, going to look at books, basically anything but paying attention to the story. I am hopeful that he will do better listening once mama is not involved.
We had to go shot a Brackett Commercial after school so it was a VERY busy day, but Kolten was all smiles afterwards!!! I think it is going to be a GREAT year!!
