Mother's Day Out

Sooo...our church has started its own Mother's Day Out program. They did like a trial run this summer for just church members and I did a pretty good job of getting Connor there. We did just ease into it going once a week for almost 6 different weeks. It was more for me to get used to it than Connor.

This past week the "real deal" started. Connor goes every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. His teacher is Mrs "Shhherree" (Sherrie) and we already love her! He and his friend Eli are in the same class together. They did a good job posing for a first day picture together, since Connor was to shy to do it by himself. I'm all excited for Connor and this opportunity. We'd always said that he wouldn't start anything until he was 3 but how registration and timing falls just a few months will hopefully benefit him instead of holding out until officially 3. You know as parents you almost always end up changing some of your string-willed mind and plans.

We treated ourselves to breakfast at Starbucks because we both love it and haven't had it in such a long time. I love that my son will share a berry muffin or pumpkin loaf with me!!

Connor's first week was wonderful! He truly loves Mrs. Sherry and she loves him. He is in a small class of 6. They are already learning their curriculum. He loves eating his lunch there,too.

On the mom side of it, I am handling the first week real well because I had sooo many different things to help get done. Literally on Tuesday I was able to run in and out of FIVE stores hunting down specific things for our Church's Mom's group called Common Ground and the preschool nursery. How amazing to be able to "run in and out"!! I haven't done that in sooo long. I know that I will enjoy being able to schedule my shopping and errands now on "Connor's School days".

Although, I must admit the fact that he is growing up soo fast is hard to swallow and hold back all the mixed emotions.
