1st Day of School

Today was Cayden's first day of school. He was very excited and it went quite well. However, I think he thinks we are "playing school." I don't think he realizes this is what is in store for him for many, many, many, many, (oops I got carried away thinking of my role in all this) days/years to come. He is supposed to learn his letters, numbers, shapes, colors and patterns. He knows them all so that makes my job a little easier, but there are other things like learning how to apply the right amount of glue and how to adequately use a scissors that he still needs to work on. He's only 4 so I realize this is normal. However, I need to learn patience and that I have to allow him to do things without helping. I need a lot of prayer!!

Part of me feels like he should go to a "real" school with a teacher other than me because she would be so much more patient, would understand preschool/kindergarden learning styles and abilities. The other part of me is glad that I got to be there for his first day of school and could take pictures and be proud of the fact that he has already learned so much!

(our laptop is dead and Brandon informed me it will NOT be resurrected so until I get a new computer that I know how to upload pictures on we'll have to wait for his first day of school picture)
