Pajamas and Pancakes Day

Jackson's preschool class learned all about the letter 'P' this week.  And to celebrate today, all the kids wore their pajamas to school, they had pancakes and pink milk for their snack, and they read the book If You Give a Pig a Pancake.  How fun?!  Jackson has been so excited about this day all month long and has been going back and forth about whether to wear his Scooby Doo or Star Wars pajamas.  I told him last night that it was going to be chilly, so he decided to go w/ Scooby since they are pants and long sleeves.  Since he had already put them on for bed when we talked about it, he didn't even have to get dressed for school this morning!  He also got to bring a bedtime buddy and a flashlight to the party and since he knew Mrs. Dana, his teacher, is a huge Tar Heels fan, he decided to bring his giant Mr. Wuf!  And he may or may not have gotten Mrs. Dana to give Mr. Wuf a hug and kiss before he left today.  ;-)  

Yesterday they had their Easter party and he's star student all week, so this has been quite a fun week for him at school!  

Pancakes with whipped cream and chocolate chips!  Yummy!! 

Jackson even asked for seconds of the special pink milk! 

Each of the kids got to bring home a pink 'piggy' balloon!  And if you notice in the back of this picture, sitting in the yellow chair, is their guest of honor for today -- Petunia Pig!

School's out for Summer!

Jackson just finished up his second year at Faith and had the best time in Ms. Elizabeth's three year old class.  I'm sure he'd say that his favorite part of the class was his 'best fwend Landon'.  Those two were buddies from the very start and stuck together all year.  Every day Jackson would come home talking about Landon.  And if he missed a day, the first thing Jackson would say is, 'Landon not be der today.'  Landon is also the reason Jackson wanted cowboy boots for Christmas.  Watching him develop such a fond friendship was definitely a milestone.   The class had their end of the year party at a park with a picnic and some play time.  It was so funny to watch how all the boys teamed up together and were off doing their own thing.  

Jackson and Landon.

Landon and Grayson S. 

I tried to get a picture of Jackson like this, but he wouldn't cooperate.  Landon was a ham in front of the camera, so he was all smiles! 

Grayson S. was all smiles, too! 

All the boys from Ms. Elizabeth's class, except for Logan. 

Like I said, Landon was the little ham!  I can see why he and Jackson made such good friends!  Two little nuts!

Kate made sure she was part of the party too -- especially when she saw there were cupcakes!

Jackson’s First Day of Preschool ~ Ms. Elizabeth’s Class

 
Jackson started back to preschool this morning.  He seemed pretty indifferent to the idea ever since we started talking about it a few days ago.  He even told me last night that he didn’t want to go to school.  He actually seemed pretty excited this morning though.  He helped pick out his shirt and got dressed with no stalling.  And when he spotted the red rooftop of the preschool in the distance, he pointed and said, “My school!  My school!”  He went right into his classroom and started checking it all out.  I left without much of anything – he really wasn’t even interested in giving me goodbye loves.  C’mon, Jackson -- I’d expect that in high school, but you’re only 3 you know! 
Here’s to a great second year of preschool!  I can’t wait to hear about all of your new friends!
