Where has the time gone?

Where has the time gone? Is it possible that my little baby is now a three year-old boy who just registered tonight for his first year of preschool? WOW! The time has just flown by.

Well, tonight was Josiah's Preschool Open House. We were so excited about this & Josiah could barely contain his excitement. It was a floating Open House from 6-8pm. Well, we didn't want to be the first, so we waited until 6:30pm to arrive. When we got there, we walked down the hallway & introduced Josiah to the director who had given me a tour last week. She then showed us the classroom that Josiah would be in. He walked right in & left us. How funny! The director was shocked. She said, "Wow! It looks like you won't have any problems with him the first day." YEAH!

After he entered the room, he immediately began to play with the other children & felt right at home. I introduced Dustin to one of the teachers I met last week & we talked with her for a while. We then made our way around the room & looked at everything. We read through some of her materials & talked. The teacher who will most likely be his, made her way back over to us & talked some more.

Once we had looked around & were both satisfied with everything, we went out to the registration table to officially apply for preschool. It was about 7:20pm by this point & WOW...there were only 5 spots left. HOLY COW! I'm glad we didn't wait any longer. So, Josiah is officially in preschool. She said that he was accepted as soon as we signed him up & paid the registration fee. YEAH!!!!!

After Open House, we treated Josiah to dinner at McDonalds....I know, super healthy, but somehow kids just are born with this sense that this should be their favorite place to eat. He was thrilled! The only problem was he thought we were going right back to preschool. Well, preschool won't begin until after Labor Day. Yes, it's a long time to wait. So, he was a little disappointed & wanted to know if September was tomorrow. So, we just explained it to him the best we could. I have a feeling it is going to be a long 6 months.

We got home just in time to throw him in the tub & into the bed. Boy, is he excited. He just now fell asleep after laying in bed singing & playing for over an hour. His parents are very excited, too!!
