On To Bigger And Better Things!!

The boys had their last day at Classy Castle (their daycare) on Wednesday. Next week Caleb starts pre-school at Immanuel Lutheran on Thursday and Friday afternoons and then they will go to the Child Development Center (daycare) there. I have to say though that I amazed at the structure of their days and activities, which I think makes it alot like a pre-school too. Like with Classy Castle, they will go there 1 or 2 days a week. Elton can't start until September 7th, however my mom is coming next week for a couple of weeks.

I have told many of you that Caleb has been wanting to go to school for over a year. The summer has been very long for him with having the playard of the school being right behind our backyard. Yesterday I took him to the Open House where we found his class room and met his teacher. His teacher will be Mrs. Gallagher and she seems like a wonderful lady. The classroom is incredible! There is one main table with chairs and then there are theme areas set up all around the room for the kids. There is a bug/lizard area with a fountain, a princess area, a car truck area, a puppet show area, a jungle area, and a bible story area. Mrs. Gallagher says she is constantly changing them. Once Caleb got in there, what I was afraid of happening did. He didn't want to leave!! We spent an hour there and he was very upset when I made him leave. I am happy he is so excited about school and feel blessed to be able to send him there this year!! Next week I am sure I will have some pictures of his first day of school.
