Drew's 1st Day of Preschool

This morning we dropped Drew off for his first day of preschool.  He was apprehensive as we left him there but he was brave and went with the teacher and didn't cry or cling to us.  We weren't sure how he was going to handle it.  He's been telling us for months that he didn't want to go and that it wasn't going to be fun.  Now we'll have to see if he actually participated.  Generally at MOPS and Sunday School he doesn't participate much.  He prefers to just sit quietly while the other kids play and sing.  Hopefully he's growing out of that.

I just can't believe he's old enough to be going to school.  I almost teared up a little when we were going in to the school but I held it together.  It's been a rough week for me trying to mentally prepare myself for my little boy growing up.  It's definitely much quieter here at home without him.  Really it's kind of boring.  He's really most of the entertainment in this house so we're going to miss him for the few hours he's gone during the day.  On the way home Cade started crying as we drove out of town because he wanted to go back and get Drew.  Then after being home 22 minutes he asked if it was time to go get Drew.  It's nice that he loves his brother so much and misses him.

We're meeting Mitch for lunch today to make it a special day for Drew so we'll see if we can get any stories out of him.  Stay tuned.
