Lucas had his first day of preschool on Monday. We had already been to an orientation to meet his teachers and see his classroom, so he was not afraid at all! He kissed Kaitlin and I and left cheerily!On the way there, this was our conversation:
Kaitlin (me): Brother, I'm going to miss you when you're at preschool. Who's going to push me while you're gone?
Lucas: Mom, why did Kaitlin say that?
Me: Because you are the only one who pushes her. Should I push her a few times while you're gone?
Lucas, laughing: Yes! Yes! Push her!!
We said a prayer together before he left. Lucas said:
Heavenly Father,
Help me to be a good boy in preschool.
Help Mommy to be good and make Kaitlin laugh.
He has had a great time so far. He has his first crush on a teacher--Miss Jessica. He said she's really pretty. Using his hands, he showed us how pretty I am (about 6'' pretty) and then how pretty Miss Jessica is (as far as he can stretch his arms)! :)
Although he liked preschool, he was even more excited to have a day off!!!!! (He goes 3 days a week). It was so funny. I guess he was copying how we act when Clint has a day off!
Interview with the preschooler right after his first class:
I realize this is a long post for a kid starting preschool, but he's my baby! How is he in preschool already???

That is so cute about his first teacher crush! A little harsh on the comparison between you and miss jessica though. haha. He sounds like such a funny little boy.
I am impressed that he will talk about his day. Acadia only says I don't know or nothing different than yesterday. He is so grown up. Today I over heard Acadia and Trey having a conversation about Lucas. And how now that Treyson is 4 he can do the big boy stuff like Lucas. That included playing starwars and stuff.
So cute!! I love the haircut. He looks so grown up!
He does look and talk all grown up. I love the Anakin t-shirt he is wearing. Ah, the joys of pre-school. Too bad it is only for a couple of hours.
Oooh, lucky Miss Jessica!
Seriously... starting preschool is a BIG deal! Lucas just cracks me up.
I'm so glad you had such a great birthday! Sounds like such a fabulous day! About cameras- not sure what you're looking at. I got the Cannon Rebel XS and totally love it. But anything is better than what I was using! :) I don't use photoshop but I've heard great things about it. I'd love to get it and learn all the tricks that people do. But I do use Lightroom to boost my pics. Happy camera shopping. SLR is definitely the way to go!
Glad Lucas loves preschool, Rachel too. She told me all about the Bear hunt as well. :) Funny conversation I heard as we went home, was andrew asking her about what she did and then telling her - I remember when we did that game- did you do....." I think it was a totally bonding moment for them. who knew?
First of all, happy belated b-day! Your day sounded PERFECT.
Second, I love this account of Lucas's first day of pre-school- you always include the most hilarious and tender details and I always feel happy after reading your blog. His teacher crush is adorable, and his little prayer before going to school was so sweet.
Be in touch and take care!
