First Day of Preschool!

Parker you started preschool today! You were so excited to go to "Miss Mandy's" (Aunt Mandy actually). We had an assessment last week where you two met and she asked you some questions to see what you already knew (rhyming, colors, sorting, letters, numbers, words, etc.). It was really fun to see what you knew (colors, sorting, numbers) and what you need work on (rhyming, recognizing words and some letters & the sounds they make). Mandy said you are right on track to where you should be as a pre-schooler.


You had a good first day. You were in charge of bringing the snack today, and it needed to start with the letter "P". I asked you what we should bring and you kept saying "donuts, candy, ..." nothing that started with "P". I started suggesting "P" snacks like pickles, pancakes, pineapple, popcorn, Popsicles, etc. and you said "POPCORN!" so we did. It was a huge hit because there was none left when you got home.


You get to be in school with your cousin Will, and friends Max Pohlman, Creed Lorenzon, Jake Crowe and a few others you'll get to know better I'm sure. You looked so big and all grown up with your backpack on. You picked that out all by yourself. Of course you picked the rolling one! It's about your size! You love it and that's all that matters.

During our "Photo shoot" you found a potato bug and were just too curious.

I love this silly face you're making.

SO excited to go, and so proud of yourself!

We had to get a picture of your backpack, and Amber wanted one too. Aubrey came right over; she didn't want to miss out on anything so she got in the picture too!

I took this because it's just so typical. We're tyring to get cute photos and the first thing you do (literally, this was the first picture) is put your finger in your nose!

I sure love you bud. You make me smile every day! I wish you'd stop growing! I just want to freeze this time forever.
