Welcome to Preschool!

Tate and Ava had their "Welcome to Preschool" day today. It was an hour long, shortened preschool session where the parents attended with the kids. Tate was soooo excited...

Ava is in Tate's class and I think the adults and kids are equally excited about that!

We had a bit of a crying bout (hence the red eyes) because the sun was too bright for Tate's eyes. That's why he is not standing in by the sign.

After our little photo session...it was time for us to go into preschool!

First, they hung up their backpacks on their designated hooks...

Then they went to wash their hands and headed in to put the frog with their name on it on the column that says "present" for attendance...

Then they picked a letter on the rug to sit on. Tate and Ava stayed pretty close to each other the whole time we were there...

The Welcome Song got the kiddos loosened up. There is a part that tells them to do a little boogie and both the kids thought that was pretty funny and joined in...

Then after a story and play/craft time, it was time to line up and wash hands before snack time...

Then it was snack time!

Notice Tate's concentration here. It was the first lesson he had in preschool...how to pour his own drink. I know, the thought of Tate taking on that task made me cringe a bit. He's not the cleanest or most careful kid on the block. ;) He was really paying attention and was so excited to be able to pour his own juice!

Notice the tongue. It always comes out in moments of sheer concentration...

Both of the kids poured their juice like they'd been doing it their whole lives. I think they were pretty proud!

After snack time, preschool was dismissed! The kids are ready for their first full day on Monday!

Weren't they just born?! I mean, c'mon...preschool already?!!!!

Yikes!
