I can’t believe it!  The big day is already here – Campbell’s first day of “school” – aka Mother’s Day Out at St. John’s Episcopal church in Memphis.  He seemed excited to go and kept asking if there would be a school bus at school.  :).  We took his cute firetruck backpack and a special new pacifier with a monogrammed pacifier clip that’s just for school.  And, we ordered a new “buddy” so we can keep an extra in his backpack to to to school all the time.  And, we took Campbell’s monogrammed firetruck sleeping bag for him to nap in.

Campbell’s class is the “Funky Frogs.”  Seriously.  :).  And, no, we didn’t ask for that.  We met his teachers Ms. Marcia and Ms. Ashley on the way in.  They seem so nice, and Campbell seemed to like them.  School hours are from 9 – 2 each Thursday, and we can add one extra day a week if there is space available, which will be good on days when Marie is sick or has to be out for some reason.  The friends in his room are Zach, Kaydence, Eliyah, and Josh.

Campbell did get a little mad/upset when we went inside because we had to go right by the playground, and he couldn’t understand why we couldn’t stop to go play on the way in.  He cried for a minute, but calmed down with his pacifier, and he was totally fine by the time we left (even after we took his pacifier away).  We were skeptical that he would actually nap, but he did!  The teachers said that they had to rub his back to help him go to sleep, but he did sleep with buddy in his sleeping bag and with his special pacifier.  And, he ate his lunch and made a drawing.  :).  So, all in all it was a success.  Here are some pictures we took on the way in, and here’s the report we got on how his day went!  🙂

8-10-17 Class Report

I also have a scan of his art project from class today, but it’s at work, so I will try to add it later.  🙂

The only unfortunate thing is that the nap is only about 1 hour at school.  That’s less than half of what C normally gets, so he was kind of a disaster later in the day, but we will all adjust!  He’s getting so big!  🙂

Not that you can tell he’s a disaster in these pictures.  🙂
