Pre-School & ECFE

John started out the year at St. Ambrose but we have moved him to Peaceful Grove in Woodbury since.  He loves his new school and his teacher is well versed in boys with loads of energy! ; ) She has 4 of her own!  Mrs. Denison is wonderful- there are 10 kids in his class and he goes Mondays & Wednesdays from 8:45-2.  We have been carpooling with the Puglisi's which has been really nice on ME!

These are his first day pictures from St. Ambrose:

These are his first day pictures from Peaceful Grove:

Super excited for his first day with his buddy, Luke Puglisi. 

Ahh! I love this one! Buddies!

"Get our backpacks, mom!"  : )

That was the extent of the pictures I got.  Once we go to school, the boys agreed that we had taken "enough" and that is wasn't cool to take their picture at school.  And so it begins... : (

One story I want to remember:
At Peaceful Grove John has cold lunch everyday.  I went to get him a lunchbox at Target and since the school year had already begun there weren't any of the "cool" lunch boxes left.  John was hoping for a Spiderman / Cars / Transformers one, even though I wasn't.  I got him the generic one that they had left, it was black with a white striped design on the front.  John was OK with it, but bummed he didn't get a "cool" one.
The morning of his first day, Luke was over and I asked John to grab his lunch box out of the cabinet so we could put his lunch in it.  John reluctantly pulled his LB out.  Luke immediately said, " WOW! Cool John!! You have a Spiderman web lunchbox!! You are SOO lucky!!"  Praise the good Lord- Yep, John loves his lunch box! ; )


ECFE:
I signed Stephen and I up for an ECFE class at Central Park in Woodbury.  I thought it would be an excellent way for him to have something special and a way for us to meet more families in Woodbury.  It has been just that!  I have had a great time with the moms and SJ has loved having Pre school, teachers and something of his own to look forward to. : )

Snack time!

Stephen's teacher's name is Mrs. Susan and she is an amazing teacher!  The kids all love her so much; she knows just how to relate to the little ones!  ; )  SJ loves the group song time; we sing lots of songs but his favorites are: Baked Potato & Jelly in the Bowl.
