Well, it was his 1st day of Mother's Day Out. We enrolled Eli in the MDO program at Oakridge Christian Academy this year and today was his first day in class. Thomas decided to take the day off so that we could take Eli to his first day of school together.
On our way to the school I asked Eli a few questions. I asked, "are you excited about school?" Eli, "nope". Me, "are you going to take a nap today?" Eli, "nope". Me, "are you going to eat your lunch today?" Eli, "nope". Me, "are you going to cry?" Eli, "nope". Me, "are you going to eat your snack?" Eli, "yes"!
We got to the school a few minutes early so we hung out in the lobby until it was time to take him to his class. Eli found a little boy to play with while we waited and even got a chance to tackle him. Then he saw his friend Abby and got really excited to see her. Then it was time to take the kids to their class room, Eli got a little upset because his new found friend and Abby were not going to the same class as him, they were in an older class.
We dropped Eli off in his class room and not a tear was shed. We didn't even get a by bye from him! After we dropped him off Thomas and I went to a Boo Hoo, Woo Hoo breakfast for the parents. We decided to stop by the class room to sneak a peak on our way to the car. Eli was happily playing in the classroom.
I was so excited to pick Eli up this afternoon I got there a little bit early. Eli was still napping when I got there! All the other kids were up and playing/crying and my little guy was passed out! I was told that Eli had a great day. He never cried except once when all the other kids were crying. He ate all his lunch and snack and participated in everything. I was told he counted with the teachers and sang his ABCs (he never sings with me). At nap time I was told that they put him on his mat and he sat up once and when they laid him back down he was out! I am so proud of my little guy, I can't believe how well his 1st day went. I hope his second day on Thursday goes just as well!
Eli is trying out his new backpack and sippy that he got the day before from GG.

Right after we dropped Eli off in his class room. I wish I would have gotten a picture of him passed out on his nap mat when I picked him up. Hopefully I will get another chance!
