Preschool...

Our little boy is now a BIG preschooler! Darin and I scouted out the preschools last spring and decided to enroll Nash in the Faith Church, Building Blocks Preschool. It isn't far from our home, and I have several friends who have children there. Darin and I attended a class and spoke to the teacher and felt really good about it. I guess it was a good choice because soon after we had 3 other friends follow our lead and enroll their children as well. :)

Nash requested "blue pancakes" for his first day of school breakfast.
We went a little early so we could snap some pictures in front of the church. Nash is wearing his awesome new dragon shirt. He was so excited to go to school!

His teacher is Mrs. Flamisch, she has 2 assistants Mrs. Landis and Mrs. Cowell. Nash LOVES all of them, especially the assistants. He will see one of them and get the biggest smile on his face. The week before school started they had an open house to meet the teacher and talk to the parents. Nash was pretty nervous, but his buddy Madden just took his hand and helped him feel safe. It brought tears to my eyes. The first day of school Nash was shy but said good-bye and didn't look back. He goes to school Tuesday and Thursday's 9 - 11:30am. Hopefully he will be able to do the extended day on Thursdays from 9 - 2:30pm. The program is awesome and I know he will enjoy all the activities they do. We liked this school because we didn't feel like they tried to indoctrinate the children with the churches beliefs. We appreciated that the curriculum was centered around a Christian base where the kids are introduced to Christian beliefs but not enough that there would be a confusion between religions. I like that they pray together, and learn about the scriptures while learning their ABC's. I even think I will let Nash do their vacation bible school next summer! :)
