I feel like I just barely wrote the post about Spencer's first day of school last year. In reality it was exactly a year ago (well, July 26th. Close enough). You can re-read it here.
I really did just write the post about Spencer's last day of school. That was only one month ago. If you have short term memory problems you can re-read it here.
We decided in March to send Spencer to a new preschool for this school year. We also decided not to tell him about his new school until a week before school started. I didn't want him to have that knowledge and to be stressing out about it for 6 months.
We told him a week ago that he was going to a new school. He did not take it well. There were tears and glares and refusals. So, we did what any modern day parents would do and offered a bribe:
We'll buy him a Henry train if he makes it through the whole first week with no refusals and no complaining.
We're going to go through with the offer, but I don't think we'll even need to.
Once he got used to the idea, he's been all about his new school. We went to meet the teacher night last week and he didn't want to leave his new classroom.
So, today was his first day. He has a new outfit.
And his same, old Elmo backpack.
Drop off is between 12:10 and 12:15. His teacher instructed the kids to sit at one of three tables. Spencer sat at the puzzle table. We were out the door by 12:11.
I think he's going to be juuuuust fine.

Spencer is such a little cutie! He looked pretty comfortable at his new school. He would be such a fun student to teach!
I am so glad that Spencer had a great day! He looks so grown up with his backpack on.
We have decided to move Eliza to a new school this year too. Her first day is Monday. I hope she loves it as much as Spencer seems to loves his new school.
