First Day of Preschool

September 8th was not only a big day in the Ducote home since Julia was born, but it was also important because it was Joseph's first day of preschool for the 2014-2015 school year.  Joseph is in the 3 year old class this year and attends Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 to 2:00.  His teacher is Mrs. Lauren with Mrs. Thelma as an aide (the same aide from last year.)  

Since Daddy and I had to be at the hospital that morning at 5:30 a.m., we left Nani in charge of the first day of school and everyone did great!  Joseph actually woke up that morning at 4:45 to say good-bye to us but thankfully after I tucked him back in to bed he was able to fall back to sleep and Nani and Ella actually had to wake him up at 7:15! I left three different options of outfits for him to wear (two included a collared shirt and he chose the football non-collared shirt, which I figured he would, but he looked great and was ready to go!)   He was super excited about the day and Nani said that he did fabulous!  

He told me the night before that he wants to be Spiderman when he grows up!

Ella wanted to get in on the photo shoot.

 The next two are "pow pow/Spiderman" pictures according to Nani.  

Ella also does "pow pow" and normally Joseph corrects her by saying, "Ella, no weapons" but it looks like today they both wanted to take part of it!

And, here he is outside of school getting ready to go in.  We hope that you have a fabulous year Joseph and can't wait to hear all about the things that you learn and do!

After school they came to the hospital to meet baby Julia and Joseph told us that he had a great day.  He liked playing with Maggie (who was in his class last year).  On Friday, after the first week, he told me, "Mom, I like my teacher.  She is really nice to me."  I sent Mrs. Lauren and email that night thanking her because hearing your child say that really means so much especially with the transition of a new baby in our home- knowing that he was happy and adjusting well to the start of another school year makes it so much easier!
