Little Man had a wonderful first day of pre-kindergarten, no surprise to any who know him.

Though only attending once weekly, it’s still a big deal for this homeschooling mommy. (I shared our reasons for sending him here.) He’ll continue to learn alongside his sisters on the days he remains at home. I’m forever grateful for the ability to individualize my kids’ educations.

He was ready. We packed his lunch, laid out his clothes, and prepped him as thoroughly as we could, in the best way we know how: with books.

In fact, I ordered him this book (from his favorite collection by author David Shannon) to commemorate the occasion.

After all, he’s a big boy now– as he so often reminds me.

I am so thankful to be mom/teacher to each of our three, unique kiddos.
