Rhys Starts Preschool!

Just look at our little man!

 Our baby!

He went off to his first day of preschool today!  With only a bit of dismay that mama was leaving, he regained composure pretty fast, we were told.

We decided to start Rhys in preschool at the age of 2 instead of three because A.) the opportunity presented itself for Keri to participate in a parent-led preschool co-op, B.) it would be good for Rhys to have social time with others around his age, C.) he would have other children model good speech and language , and D.) it could be a lot of fun if it is the right placement for him.  We gave this a lot of thought and we thought we would try it out and see how it goes.

On his first day, he did not participate in painting but the teacher said he sat and willingly observed when he chose not to participate.  That works for us!  We just want him to be exposed and learn to follow the routine. He has 2 more preschool years to get all the other academics.

Hooray for Rhys!  Way to grow!
