cool school

today jack had his first "playdate" at his new nursery school. while he doesn't start until september, they wanted to get all the first-time parents together with some of the "old-timers" to meet and chat and get to know each other a bit while the kids played.

when we left home, jack was excited that we were going to go to "school." in fact, he kept saying, "school bus" -- his favorite mode of transportation. and while disappointed that, no, in fact, there is no school bus ... just mommy driving two minutes into the next neighborhood over ... he was still psyched to go check it out:




jack bounded in from the parking lot, but when we arrived in the classroom, jack was pretty unsure about the situation and got a little clingy ... his poor little lip and chin quivering with tears. but, after a few minutes of hugs from mommy, he bucked right up, found a toy school bus, and the rest ... as they say ... is history.

trucks and trains and buses, oh my!

and on our way out, jack ... despite the rain ... wanted to play on the school's playground. but we've got all school year for that!
