Reid's First Day of Preschool

Well, finally Reid was able to have his turn to start school. He has been eagerly anticipating this for several weeks. He had his shoes and his backpack on at least thirty minutes before we had to leave. We were able to walk to school and that was different than what were used to. Sydney has to ride in a car for 20 minutes to get to her school. Reid's class is in the church right behind our apartment building.

Reid spent the whole hour helping another little boy fill a train table with blocks so you could not see the painted scenery any more. I think he will like playing with some boys his age. So many of our friends have girls. He can finally do something other than playing dress-up, having tea parties, and playing with dolls!

Adding another layer now that the whole thing is covered.

Tom has also started school and things are going well. It is so nice that he can focus more of his time on school. His class is on MWF is very close to Sydney's school and it starts 30 minutes after Sydney's class so he is able to drop her off.

We have also shared in the process of redoing mom and dads basement. Reid told grandpa that he should clean up his big mess in the basement or grandma might not let him go down there any more! At that point they had just started to rip up the many layers of cement floor. Now it is all gone and they are going to pour new cement in the morning. I hope to take the kids over to watch before school starts. It will be nice when it is done.
