First Day of "School"

(Brock on the first day of "school")

Today Brock started "school". He is going to the Early Learning Center at First Baptist Douglasville on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 am till noon. He is in the Cuddly Cow class and there are 8 little boys & girls in his class. He was such a big boy this morning while getting ready and on the way but when we got there things changed a little. He walked inside the church like a big boy but as we got closer to his classroom he started wanting me to pick him up. When we got to the classroom door he started crying. His teacher came to the door and got him and I am sure that he stopped crying soon thereafter. While Brock was at school, I got to enjoy shopping alone for a couple of hours. When I picked Brock up he was so tired. He could hardly stay awake until we got home to have lunch. I asked him several questions about school : Did you like school today? Did you like your teachers? Did you have a snack? Did you color? Did you play outside? His answer to all of these questions was NO! I then asked him "Do you know what mommy is asking you? and he said NO! His favorite word right now is NO so I am sure that he really did have a great time today and I know that he is going to love playing with the other little kids this year.
