Dawson's first day of school

Today was Dawson's first day of school (yes, I know, it starts late) at the preschool. He was generally excited to go today. He did tell me, however, that he needed a shirt, shorts and underwear in his bag like he had when he went to his old school. I told him he didn't need it though because he was big now and wouldn't pee pee in his pants. He said he did need them because he said "maybe when I pee pee it might go up and get my shirt all wet and then if I go poopy it might go down and then up all over my clothes." Well, at least he is prepared for anything. :)

Here were a few shots before school.

Dawson took pictures with Kenan but was clear with him that he was too small to go to school.

A face trying to look happy.

Almost in the car. I laugh looking at these because he still doesn't have shoes on. We got those on in the car and they came off immediately as he was getting in the car to come home. The clothes at least stayed on until we got all the way home.

So he says his day was bad, but he is willing to go back and I think he had a good time. The teachers are really nice and he is in the same class as his friend Hannah who speaks english. Also, a girl from the Us is flying in today that will be in his class all year as an assistant so that should help a lot. Overall, I am encouraged how the first day went.

He just has to go this week and then we are off to Teriya Bugu for our field forum (where all the CMA missionaries get together for the week). So hopefully it will be a good week for him to get the feel of school but then he can also get a break. We shall see how it goes!
