Yesterday was Jake's first official day of Pre-K. He did better than Jeremy and I did-it was almost like any other day to him except he got to go to the 'better classroom because it has cooler toys.'
He only had one meltdown, which, in his defense, is rare. While in big school, the teachers have to call him by his legal name, Jacob. He immediately noticed that Jake was not used on his stuff and freaked out a little. His teacher, Ms. W., explained that he can still be Jake any time he wants but at big school, she has to call him Jacob. He did not care for that too much! However, he was excited to write his whole name as something different. He also recognized all of the words beginning with 'b' on the chalkboard. We are so proud of our little Monkey!
In his Papa's words,
"Put on a happy face! Put on a happy face! Put on a happy Face! Put on a happy face!"
