Connor 1st day at preschool

Here's a picture of Connor before he went to preschool yesterday. I'm putting together a scrapbook, and have decided that with each school year, I'll have him hold some sort of sign indicating the day and year. (it should be really fun when he's older)

He did really well. No crying or anxiety. He absolutely loved it! I'm so excited for him to have some new friends, and I cant wait until he starts bringing home some artwork!

that's awsome! I love scrapbooking....another twist on the sign (which by the way IS a great idea to keep those pics in order!) let him write the sign....of course in the first year or so you may have to write out the translation but it will also be a great way to see how he grows through the years in his abilities...just a thought.

Great picture and a cute idea. Someone else mentioned taking the picture in the same place every year (like the front door) so you can see how they grow. Kind of fun!
