N's first day of preschool

When did this kid get so big?  Here he is, on his way to his first day of school.  He was so excited.  He couldn't wait to wear his new sweatshirt and carry his new book bag.  (Never mind that all he had in it was a pack of raisins for a snack... it's still a necessary item!)  He goes five days a week, and so far is loving every minute of it.  I don't even get a good-bye at the door.  He just runs right in and starts playing.  

His little school is so awesome.  It has a little farm attached to it, and yesterday they went out and saw the animals.  There are sheep, alpaca (I don't know how to make that plural - alpacas, or is it like sheep, one alpaca, many alpaca, anyway), goats, pigs, ponies, geese, goats, bunnies, and so on.  The kids get to help feed the animals, it's pretty cool.   They also have an amazing garden that the kids help to plant and water.  But for me, the best part is that I can walk there, which I love!  We're still adjusting to having a 'morning rush' as we all try to get out the door... and so it begins!
