Bryce starts Pre-School

Well we roll back into IN as a family of 4 and finally we are staying put for awhile. We realized that we might need to start Bryce in a preschool program. Not the best situation as we are in Korea, IN, and where ever the Air Force sends us in the spring....but he might be starting Kindergarten in the fall depending on where we are since he has an August birthday and if we feel he is really ready. So we visited a couple of places and what a blessing that less than a block from Mom's is a great preschool and he started right away. Lets just say it was interesting to be on the other side of this with my child....I held back the tears...sort of....he did too kind of...although letting go of my leg was a little harder. The sweet secretary even called me and hour later to tell me the teacher had come in and told her he was doing great! School is from 7:45-11:00 and he goes 3 days a week. So we aren't really an early family and very thankful that Daddy was there those first few weeks to get Bryce to school, while I was feeding Brennen. Then Daddy left and I had to get him there...that has been a challenge.
1. Bryce doesn't like to get out of his PJs
2. Nor eat breakfast with any kind of speed
3. Brennen either needs to eat, is still sleeping, or has a full blow out as we are walking out the door...yes this has happened more than once.
In the end Bryce has loved school, his new friends and we can get out the door...some mornings are just crazier than others. He is giving me a run for my money on attempting to write his name....but don't leave any paper laying around with importance bc it might get hole punched or cut into tiny pieces. I am only saying this bc the child has fine motor skills just no desire to put them to use with writing....I am sure it will come before I hang him by his stubborn toes. :) As he got into his routine getting home as fast as he could was important at first bc there was no way he was going to poop at school...I just can't do that Mommy, so don't send Gaga to pick me up anymore bc I can't walk Buster around the block I need to get home. But he informed me that he can do that now at school and it is no big deal. I also learned that free play time is very important to him as he started showing up in my room around 6:15 am, which for him is super early. Well Mommy he would say to me, it is a school day so that is okay and we won't have to hurry and I can have time to play before the clean up music starts to play. :) We already had to say good bye to those classmates, but we will see them again in the spring for a little while. There will be another post when we start this all over again in Korea with new challenges.

First field trip and got to ride on a school bus...he decided it wasn't
as much fun as he thought it would be. He said Mommy there
wasn't anything to do but sit there and it was way too loud.
