Could he really be this grown up?


Well, Josiah went to his first day of school today! He started in the 3 year old program at Little Blessings Preschool. He will go every Tuesday and Thursday morning for 2 hours. He's been so nervous lately about Dwayne and I leaving him places, I imagine because of all the change in his life and the unfamiliar places we've been. We haven't been able to leave him in a nursery at any church for months. So, I was concerned about how he would do today. He asked me if Abby and I would stay, and I had already talked to the teacher about it ahead of time. So, Abby and I stayed around the building, but not in the room- feeding and walking and bouncing... It was a long 2 hours for me, but Josiah seemed to breeze right through it. He did just fine without me in there, so I'm hopeful that he won't panic when I leave him on his own on Thursday...

We decided to take his picture on our front steps for his annual "first day of school photo." He's proudly wearing his Bob the Builder backpack. I really can hardly believe how grown up he seems.
