First Day of School

Today was an important day, Jack's first official day at preschool.  And from all accounts, it was a great day!  

Kelley and Jack met Cynthia, his lead therapist, at First Experiences, with flowers in hand, ready to give to his teacher, Miss Toni.  Cynthia will attend with Jack, as his aide.  He will be going on Tuesdays and Thursdays, for 3 1/2 hours.  Next year, he will go for 3 days a week, and then Kindergarten will be 5 days per week.

But, back to today. 

After arriving, they went to find Miss Toni, to hand off the lovely bouquet of flowers.  Jack greeted Miss Toni with a big hug and the flowers.

During his time at school, he was able to do everything that was asked of him, sitting well during circle time, listening intently to Miss Toni.  He got to do the counting of the students in the room, and did it correctly!

There was a little girl in class, I'll call her O. (but it's not Oprah), who Jack seemed fascinated with.  He wanted to hold her hand and generally be where she was.  She finally had enough, they say, and she told him to stop following her.  Hang in there, Jack.  There'll be plenty more women.

He had a great day.  We pray that he will continue to shine in this new life adventure.
