Jacob had his first choir practice at church this afternoon and he really enjoyed it. Dylan will tell you that he only liked it because he got to color for some of the time, but I know how much he really enjoys singing. Besides, I have to put him in choir now while it is still cute. I have a feeling I'd have to drag him kicking and screaming if he were fourteen instead of four. Besides, Dylan is just upset because now he will actually have to pay attention (& possibly enjoy it - uh-oh!!!) when the kiddies perform during a church service. Oh, yeah - and put up with me taking pictures at the same time. :)
Besides starting the children's choir (which, by the way, is called the Weejoicers - is that not the cutest thing ever?!?!?), Jacob also starts preschool on Tuesday. He really did not require preschool as a two or three year old since we are involved in two Moms groups at church that allow him to be in a pre-school-type setting. Add that to being in Sunday school, there just was no need to give him more social/play time with kids his age. Plus, if you have met Jacob, you know that the child does not need any more opportunities to socialize. If you think I talk a lot, imagine me... as a four year old.
I know it will be a big change for him being away from me and the house three times a week for four hours each day, but I also know he is going to have a blast. I hate the fact that we have to pay for preschool for him just to adjust to being away from home, but since he will most likely be going to Kindergarten next year, it was now or never. I would think to go from being with Mommy day to spending six and a half hours at school each day would be pretty scary at that age. Besides, if I'm being honest... I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to the break. It will be good for him and me!!!
And, yes - I will be posting the cutest photo ever of a preschooler's first day of school later this week! :)
