First Day of Preschool

I'm back!  So, rewinding 3 whole months...

Hard to believe, but Kai started preschool this year!  He's attending a little preschool just a few blocks from our house, called Rose City Cooperative Preschool.  Being a cooperative means that we parents get to pitch in a lot.  Each day there are two parent helpers in the classroom along with the teacher, and each parent is also given a job to perform throughout the school year.  My job is the Board's Administrative Assistant.  It's been really fun to see Kai in school, and also be a part of the school myself.  Choosing his first school felt like a big choice, but I couldn't be happier with where he is.

I wanted to do something special as a family to commemorate his first day of school, so we went for a bike ride on one of our favourite bike trails along the Columbia River.

Followed by a little wading...

And a special book to remember the day.

I chose a book that spoke of the values I hope he continues to learn and practice in this first year of school.
