Jack’s First Day of School

I know.  I know.  How can this be his first day of school?  He’s too young!  Well, it’s pre-school.  And it’s only 2 days a week.

BUT IT’S STILL HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Absolutely crazy.  I can’t even believe it.  I feel like it was only yesterday we brought him home from the hospital.  But here he is, with his backpack and first day of school clothes.  What a little boy he has become.

So, the school is really nice.  There are a lot of children who attend “classes” here.  Jack’s class is 8 kids; 4 boys and 4 girls.  Today it was just the boys and it was only for a half hour.  it was mostly so we could fill out some paperwork and the kids could see the classroom and meet the teachers.  There are 2 teachers.

Everything is really great.  The teachers seem nice.  The room is small, but comfortable.  They have a lot of toys to play with.  They have a bulletin board for the kid’s art projects.  There are cubbies for their things.  it’s everything you would expect in a pre-school, I guess.

Jack really seemed to enjoy it.  Mostly I think he enjoyed playing with the new toys.  We’ll see how it goes when there is class time and when we leave him there alone.  of course, the only time Jack did cry was when it was time to leave.  He kept saying he wanted to go to school.  I think he’ll be okay.

Jack’s First Train Ride to NYC

Normally when we go to the City with Jack we drive in.  Its convenient enough for us to drive and most times when we go in we are going to the Upper West Side or Upper East Side.  Plus, in the past he was younger and we wanted to have quick access to get home if need be.  Since we had nothing to do on Saturday we decided to take the train into the City and walk around a little.

The train ride was fun.  I’m not sure he was completely blown away by it, but he did enjoy looking out the window.  On the way home he even got a smiley face ticket from the conductor.  Coming home he got to eat the rest of his lunch looking out the window of the train.  It was successful and I’m sure we will do it again.

While we were in the City we went to Bryant Park to let him run around a little.  Turns out Bryant Park has a little carousel and an outdoor children’s “library.”  We went on the carousel and read some books in the little outdoor library area.  We can’t wait to do it again!

Eating Ice Cream at the Park

Went to the “big park” with Jack today after we got home from VT.  When we got there there was a Mr. Softee Truck.  Not the ghetto Jolly Joe truck that sells fake Good Humor and hot dogs.  Not the Good Humor truck.  A real Mr. Softee.  So, Jack got an ice cream cone.  After careful deliberation he decided on chocolate with chocolate sprinkles.  I was hoping for vanilla because I figured I was going to be eating a lot of it, but he wanted the chocolate.  We had our ice cream and played in the sprinkler in our clothes.  It was fun.

I am trying a new video program/site on my phone.  People can watch what I am filming live from www.qik.com/sjshaw361.  I am going to try to let people know when I’m doing something and see how it works.  In the meantime, enjoy the video below…

New Post Thumbnail Post

Confusing title?  Sure.  But I’m trying to test some changes I made in the site.  When I create a post I can assign a thumbnail to it.  If I don’t assign one, it puts one in for me.  But it was a dumb thumbnail.  Just a picture of a camera with a few pictures.  It was black and white and ugly.  So, I made a new one.  A better one.  A cooler one.

Now if it only works…

SUCCESS! I am a programming Genius!

Talking To Thomas

One of the cutest things Jack does lately is talk to his things. Like many boys his age he is totally into Thomas the Tank Engine. We bought his all this Thomas stuff for his birthday in May. He has all these trains and pieces of the Island of Sodor.

Tonight we were playing with the Engine Wash and he was putting all the trains through the wash. I grabbed some video of him talking to Toby. Too cute!
