The first day of school

Getting ready for the big day started with a bath and a lot of anticipation, from me not Eli. We had eggs for breakfast, then made our way to the classroom. Eli jumped right in and in true Eli fashion went straight for the kitchen set. Past the slide and the horse, past the blocks and tools and right to the stove.
Look out Emeril there is a new chef in town!!!! One could only dream, right!!!


Sharing hugs before we go





























Exploring the classroom (after the kitchen)

















Getting to play for a little while

Taking a trip around the block on the bus to see what it is like before the big trip tomorrow

A lunch date to Panera Bread after our visit. A glimpse into the future, this is the way he looks when he gets off of the bus each day.











1 week and 1 day we are still trying to build a new routine. Day by day it gets better.

Grace and peace
