Jake's first day of preschool

Jacob started preschool this August. Though we were only there for two months, it was worth it. Jeremiah was fortunate to be able to bring Jake on his first day, but I couldn't because I had to be at work! School had already begun for me! The teachers told me that Jacob cried for a while before settling down for the remainder of the morning. I have to say that since then, Jacob has matured a lot!! I brought him with me to take a tour of a local preschool in Katy and he was so comfortable with the teacher- letting her hold him, carry him, and even taking him to her room to get a sticker without me there!! He also looooves nursery in our new ward. It's amazing how much he has changed in a couple of months. I don't know if staying at home contributes to his level of comfort with others...knowing that I'll always be there to pick him up or that I'm not working...but it's amazing to see his growth. I'm very proud of him.

I must add that Jacob recognizes all his letters of the alphabet. He also knows some of the sounds as well. He can spell his name, but can't write it yet. He is really eagered to learn new skills and absolutely loves to read. He can finish sentences of his favorite stories that we read each night. His favorite thing right now is "flashlight" reading before going to bed.
