One more day until preschool

Only one more day. I can't believe that there is only one more day until Jonas goes to Preschool. Leading up to tomorrow, I have felt considerable amount of emotions. I either want to squeal with delight or cry uncontrollable. How did this time come? My little Jonas going to school. Time has flown and everyone tells me it gets worse when they are off to school. However, after a summer of activities and fun, I truly relish every moment with him. He is such a delight to be around!

Now that Matt is already back to school, we have accepted the routine of being on our schedule again. During the summer of travel, Jonas was able to learn a lot about the states. This morning, I placed a fruit loop(I know not the best cereal but it works to lace on a string) on each state on his placemat. And while I cooked breakfast, I asked him to find a state that I asked and lace it on the string. He was able to identify over 35 states. I think he is ready to move on to preschool.

Jonas has asked me all week if I will miss him when he is at preschool. I told him I will but I'm very excited for this opportunity to meet new friends and learn more. He said,"Mom, I will be ok at school." Today he asked,"Mom, can I eat lunch at school?" I told him I will pick him up before lunch. He was disappointed. I think he is ready!

One more quote about school from Jonas. "Mom, why is dad at work when it's still summer? He goes back to school in the fall." He is so profound!
