Today was Grady's first official day of pre-school (the 2-year-old class)! He'll be going three mornings a week... We've been building the whole idea of "school" up to him for weeks now and going over how we'd say goodbye to him, but that we'd come back later to pick him up. We even went out and got him a bookbag, which he was very excited about! (Of course his bookbag isn't for books, but rather stuff like a change of clothes, etc.... Elmo and his favorite blanket were also in his bookbag just in case!) Needless to say, he wore it all around the house last night and was thrilled with the idea of being "a big boy!"
Brandon and I both went this morning to drop him off for his first day. (Luckily, Brandon works right across the street, so it's pretty convenient for him.) We brought him to his classroom this morning, he hugged us both goodbye and then immediately starting playing. He didn't seem to be concerned at all that we were leaving! That's our Grady though.... a very laid back, go with the flow kind of guy. :) While Grady was completely fine, Brandon and I were doing all we could to not burst into tears!
We picked him up at noon, and his teacher told us he did "absolutely great!" She said that he happily went with the flow of everything they were doing and even mentioned how much he really loved the playground (which was no surprise....he could live at the park and be completely happy). Here are a couple of pictures (below) from when we were leaving the house this morning ... We did struggle a bit to get out of the house on time, which makes me a little nervous come November when I'll be getting a newborn ready at the same time! We'll figure it out though! I even lost my keys this morning... when I finally found the spare set, Grady turned to me and said, "Good job Mommy!" It's sad when your 2-year-old is cheering you on for finding your keys....he he. It was quite cute though!

Tracy! I just read this entry and had to laugh out loud at the keys part. Hehehe. That is so funny that Grady was cheering you on when you found the spare set. I instantly had a flash back to Sophomore year when we were moving out and your keys got lost at the bottom of that huge moving box! Do you remember that?? You are an awesome mom and Grady is so cute. I love tuning in to your family's latest adventures! Hugs, JM
