Connor's First Day of Preschool 2009

We thought long and hard as to whether or not to start Connor in Kindergarten this year. He turned 5 on August 27th so he just barely made the deadline. I think in most ways he was completely ready. He is tall enough, socially is much less shy than he used to be, knows everything academically that he needs to know, etc. After much thought and prayer we decided to keep him home one last year. He is a kids that LOVES being at home, and I love him to be here too. I figure it will be nice for him to be one of the older kids rather than the youngest. Ryan says it will be good for sports! (We did not base our decision on this:) We loved the Gingerbread House preschool, but he had already done two years there, so I decided to enroll him at the Good Shepherd preschool. He is in the afternoon class 3 days a week from 12:30-3pm. We are loving it. His teachers are SOOOO sweet and he has already made some good friends. Here is a picture from his first day.
