Preschool Meet and Greet

The day before Cruz's first day of school, the preschool hosted a "Meet and Greet" for the incoming kiddies. It gave them a chance to meet their teachers and get acquainted with the space so the first day will have some familiarity.

Cruz expresses excitement about starting school in general, but this day I noticed he held my hand a bit more and stuck pretty close to my side. I showed him where the bathroom is (his biggest concern) and he met his teacher Ms. Nina.

I know it's a cliche but I can hardly believe my baby is starting school. It is so bittersweet. I am excited for what is in store for him, especially since Cruz thrives on learning new information, reading and listening to stories. I am hopeful that he will make lots of new friends and that they will appreciate his sweet, kind, demeanor.

Here he is checking out his new digs.
