First Day of School for TWO Boys

Yes, Samuel AND John Michael started school this week. I don't know which one loved it more. Monday was John Michael's first day at Imagination Station, a new preschool here in town that just opened on Monday. I am SO impressed so far. The facilities are wonderful, bright, shiney, and new! The directors are very experienced and very professional. His teachers are loving and patient. He goes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until 1:30ish. He gets to experience a music & art room, a puppet room, indoor & outdoor play grounds, and a Bible lesson everyday. Monday, the director said he just had a ball! Of the eight kids in his class, he was the only one that didn't cry at all! Some cried from the time they got there. He only fussed when I picked him up off a new toy to leave. I'm glad he loves it! Samuel started at the bright, shiney, and new Northport Elementary school yesterday. He is BMOC (big man on campus) with 2nd graders being the eldest at the new school. He loves the second grade hall and his classroom which are both all decked out in a sports theme. He informed me yesterday afternoon that he was a little nervous about a new school but about halfway through the day he was used to his new teacher and had the new school all figured out so "he was good" to put it in his words. I'm glad they both love their learning environments. They are both really cool and made me want to either go back to kindergarten or teach! Good luck to all our kids who went back to school this week! It's going to be a great year!

I'm like you...so impressed with NES! It is so neat. I'm planning on going to lunch with Philip next week to try out the food. He thinks it's all great! Here's to a great year!
