First Day of "School"

September 11th this year was a big day in our house. Carter started his first day of "School". The program is called PDO, which stands for Parents Day Out. A local Presbyterian church offers this wonderful play based program where he attends one day per week. We chose for him to attend every Tuesday. He is there for four hours a day! Wahoo. This is the only FREE time I have every week. I would love to say I go do something crazy every week for the four hours he has class, but no, it's a way to get errands completed that I am otherwise not as efficient completing when taking my little man around with me everywhere. No need to focus on snack time, if I brought water or milk or if a dirty diaper needs changing.

Carter LOVES.LOVES.LOVES school. He adores his two teachers and his seven classmates, too. He actually runs into class every week, shouts out his two teachers names, "Julie, Tami", goes up to each one and gives them a big hug and tells them each "hi" in the most enthusiastic and adorable voice ever. Then he starts with either his daily art project or with puzzles.

He looks forward to class every week. He pretends to call his classmate friends from his pretend phone all the time. He loves it and we do too. Could not be happier with where he is going every Tuesday, the location, the people and the program. Happy a friend referred us to this program and thankful we all love it so much.

Here are some photos from Carter's 1st Day of School on 9/11/12

Made him some protein fruit pancakes to start his morning off right

Smiling big and excited for school

Did not want to let go of his lunch box and held it for the entire drive while saying, "ooo, ooo, ahhh, ahhh" (Monkey Sound)
