Commuting to Preschool

Yep, I'm doing it.  Again.  For the third time.  But I can't resist!  I love BYU preschool!  And Colton was SO excited for his first day.  He has been telling people he goes to BYU since May.  And now, he finally does!

 

 

From where we live, it takes me approximately 25 min each way (give or take red lights and slow people), and sometimes I have to come home and pick up the other two before I go back to get him.  But is it worth it?  Yes!  And soon I will do a post about turning car time into quality time.  But for now, can I just tell you a few of the reasons why we love it??

 

One, how many preschools have an awesome fountain front (or back - depending on how you look at it).

 

Two, they have a cool class pet named Webby, whom we get to bring home and babysit for a weekend. (Which coincidently happens to be when Uncle Mason is visiting in a few weeks.)

Three, they have... The. Best. Playhouse/fort. Ever.  And they change it around to become all kinds of different things.  Check out this post from when Cody was there.

 

Four, they have sinks and toilets that are just the right size! 

 

 

Five, they have an awesome playground with the biggest sandbox ever AND awesome new two seater bikes!  And someday I will take a picture but they also have this 10ft+ windchime toy thing with pots and pans and spoons dangling down and the kids love to play with it!  (wouldn't be so cool on my back porch, but I love it there!)

 

Six, he IS following in the footsteps of his big bros. 

Check out this post from two years ago if you really want to be blown away.  I cannot believe how they have changed!

 

 And of course, BYU sells the one and only (that I know of) Cookies and Cream Milk made right there in town.  yum. 

 

But best of all, we love Miss Dorie!  She is THE best teacher/parenting coach/friend ever!

 

When I left Colton, who had no trouble at all, I said "One last picture.." and this is what I got:

That's him blowing me a kiss.  sniff, sniff.  Love that boy!

 

And this is Colton by the time we got home on his first day:

 

Yep, this is going to be a great year.
