Twas the first day of Preschool

Twas the first day of preschool
and on the way there,
Jackson coddled his mama
saying "it'll be just like daycare."
I said we would miss him and he said
it won't be very long.
I said "who'll watch Lincoln
and help him along?"
He said "You can watch him
and play with him too."
Then I asked "what'll we do all day
without you?"
He says "You can just do whatever makes you happy."
"Like crafts or something, you can make one for me"
{this is what he does when he's away from ME, ,like church class, etc.!}
What he doesn't know is I'm enjoying this BEAUTIFUL SILENCE, you see!


That was our preschool morning conversation. Jackson had no reservations about school. He was up getting dressed before I got him up. He was out the door with the backpack and ready to go. He's never been a shy one and he can be the sweetest kid to always try to find a "solution" to your questions. He wasn't going to miss me. I knew that. I thought I might miss him but I have to admit, this silence I hear is kind of nice. I know he's getting interaction he needs with other kids and I'm getting important stuff done (like blogging!). So for now, we both win! I can't wait to hear his stories when I pick him up this afternoon. Here are the photos of the guy who couldn't wait to get there!
