First Day of Preschool

Because Clark is our first child, when I told him he was going to start going to school this year, he acted like it might be cool, but I don't think he really had an image of what exactly that meant. However, when his first day finally arrived, he seemed relatively at ease with everything and he thought his bag he got to carry was particularly cool. I was really excited for him because I know that having this new social and educational experience for him is something that I think he will really enjoy. His teacher is actually in our ward at church, and I was really happy he got in her class because she really likes Clark, and so I know I don't have to worry about whether or not the teacher 'gets' my child. He loves Mrs. Hugie and Mrs. Zirkle (he loves saying Zirkle). There are 4 other boys in his class and 5 girls. There is also a set of triplets as well. They all seem like very nice children and although I missed "coffee" with the mom's the first week, I think it will be fun meeting them and getting to know other families in the area. (Andrew wanting to get in on the action of course...I think he has really enjoyed having some time alone with me in the mornings since Clark has been at school)

Apparently, his first day went relatively well, although I was told that he tried to escape from the playground. I don't know where he thought he was going...but I wasn't really surprised because he just likes to go, go, go even if he has no particular destination in mind.
