Ben's last 1st day of preschool

My sweet Ben started his last day of pre-k today. 

He was pretty excited to get to school and work with his new teacher Mrs. Tonya and to see all his school friends. 

We all overslept...waking up 45 mins before having to be at school. 

I still managed to get a few quick pictures before heading out...

Audrey and her bed head joined us after changing her outfit several times before finally deciding on this one. 

as we were leaving, he asked if I put a  note in his lunchbox... thank goodness I thought to put one in their last night, whew!

He told me he was wearing his "running shoes" today. 

I love how excited he is to go to school!

he hung up his lunch box...

took off his shoes...

and got busy playing!

Ben and Ms. Holly

We have missed her!

Ben and the new lead teacher, Mrs. Tonya. 

He was excited to see her this morning. 

She wanted to peek in and see Ben before we left. 

 Next year we'll be dropping this cutie off. She is so ready!

*After much consideration, we felt it was a good choice for us to wait and start Ben in Kindergarten next year. He turned 5 in July and although he makes the cutoff, we didn't want him to be one of the youngest in his class. Hopefully this was the right decision and he will only be that much more prepared for kindergarten when he does start. I'm not in any hurry to send him off to the real world just yet.
