School Time: Raphael's in School
Raphael started going to nursery school a few weeks ago. He is going to the same school as Henry, in the younger class. He just goes two days a week for half the day. He has enjoyed it. He is really into playing with his friends. He gets excited when to go to church, because he gets to play with his friends, and now school. Every time I ask him what he did at school he says, "played with my friends". He takes his BB-8 lunch box, which is his prized possession, and loves to take it with him where ever he goes. He will ask if we are going to Henry's school. I will say yes. Then he says, "no, my school," with his heart melting smile. His teachers keep telling me how great he is doing. They say it is like he has been going to school the whole year.
As a mom, that is so great to hear. I am very pro nursery school. It is part of my village. I know I cannot do everything, and there are people out there who have talents in areas where I do not. I am so grateful that my children have had opportunities to go to school and have really positive education experiences from an early age. One thing I have had to learn, is that I have to make sure that my needs are being met. School is one way that helps meet my needs. My children are in a stimulating environment with great teachers who care about them, and do something that I am not good at or able to do.

The following photos are from the first day of school. Both boys going together. High fiveing, and hugging. It's been great that Rapha is at the same school. He already knows where it is and is comfortable there. I do not have to drag him away from the fun toys on the days he has school now.
Before I even left on the first day, he was playing with one of his best buddies. He is acquiring many. |
When I picked him up on the first day of school He was Captain America, and smiling so big. I had to run after him to take him home. |

Daddy was working from home that day, and got to join us for pick up.

In summary, Raphael loves school. I am grateful for positive education institutions that help my children grow and develop. Our school is cool!
