First Day of Pre-K 4

We were in shear joy when we found out that Miss Katie was going to be Max's teacher for his second year of pre-school. In case you don't recall, Miss Katie taught Max's first year of pre-school. What a great feeling to know Max already knew and was familiar with her. And on top of that Maximus learned so much last year; I can't wait to see how much fun he has in her class this year!

 I just had to compare these photos. On left, Maximus on his first day of Preschool - age 3. And an entire year later, Maximus looking so grown up heading to Preschool - age 4.

Our Little Indian

Max is absolutely LOVING school. It seems that almost everyday he is asking, "Is it 'chool' day? 


This particular day, the Thanksgiving Feast, is one that has been long awaited. Max, and his school friends have been preparing for weeks. Charlotte and I decided to tag along and spend the afternoon helping the preschool class. Oh what fun! 


The day consisted of: dressing up like Indians (this includes painting your face apparently), making drums out of tin cans, stringing necklaces from painted pasta and beads, and finally having the much-anticipated Thanksgiving Feast. Max was in his element all afternoon and enjoyed every moment. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all! We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season.

Max Visits the Apple Orchard

Oh what fun! Maximus, and his preschool friends, went on their first field trip today. I am not sure what Max was more excited for: the school bus ride or the apple orchard. This little boy was absolutely giddy all day long as he experienced some of his most-anticipated "firsts." Check out his sweet smile (in every photo!) of complete satisfaction.
