First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was Lucas' first day of preschool! 
He was very excited about going to school... and has been talking about it for months. 
Anyone who knows Lucas well, knows that he is a anxious and shy little boy. 
He does NOT do well in new situations with people he doesn't know.
The past week I had been preparing him for this big day. 
I'd walk him through what was going to happen... told him it was just like Primary. 
I'd drop him off, he'd wave and say "goodbye mom" and then come pick him up.
Well, all the prep work paid off... 
Lucas did amazingly well!
Although he was nervous, he walked right in and didn't look back!
This was a MONUMENTAL day... he has come SO far!


Before School.


This is what I got when I said, "Smile Big!"


Lucas' first art project in preschool... a cute apple.
He already has homework... and is super excited to go back again this week!
