Eli's first day of school

Then on Tuesday, Eli started preschool at the Y too! He is doing the same 2x2 program that Brian did when he was two. Eli just barely makes the cutoff and is probably one of the younger kids in the class. He was very excited to go!

He was not very excited to pose for this picture.

Eli knew where he was going already; he was not nervous like a lot of the other kids.

He's a preschool pro, having followed Brian to school all last year. He found some toy cars right away and got to work! We know 2 of his teachers from when Brian was in the class, and they were happy to see the boys again.

By all accounts he is doing great so far! I've had 3 people tell me they checked on him and he was doing great, so it must be true. It's nice having a network of spies there! In the afternoon, after dropping off Brian at his school today, I told Eli we were going home for a nap, and he said "No mama! No nap! School!" I'm glad that he's enjoying it so much already!
