We took Jonah to preschool this morning, but we had to go to the office first and give them his paperwork. They told me to come at 8 am, only to find that the office doesn't even open until 8:30 and no one would be there to help me until then. We went and got some fast food breakfast, then headed back. No problem. Thank goodness Peter's schedule is pretty lax and he can go in a little later if he ever needs to.While I was waiting for someone to help me, a lady from my ward came in- I think her name is Jeni (I'm bad with names). Anyway, she was coming in to help in her son's preschool class that day. Her son's name is Wyatt and I found out that he and Jonah are in the same class! He usually rides the bus, so Jonah will have a familiar face on there with him. Very cool!
Everything was fine with the paperwork, thank goodness. I had spent the weekend ordering a birth certificate (we didn't have Jonah's) and hoping that the fax confirmation sheet would be enough proof he has one somewhere. It was enough; I just have to bring the birth certificate in when I get it.
Also, his shot records were not up to date. I am notorious for forgetting to bring it to every pediatrician appointment so they can record his shots. It looked like he hadn't had his 2nd Hep A, which is required. I knew he had had both doses, and they had to check on the internet whether he had had it or not. They found that he had it in December, so that was okay.
So now we could take him down the hall to preschool! Well, not really. I guess they have to have the paperwork for 24 hours before they can start the kid in school. This is so that if there were an emergency or they had to refer to the paperwork for something, it would be in the system. So, no big deal, he has to start Wednesday.
It was an early day for us all. It seemed like a Sunday, since we have 8 am church and wake up at 6:30. From now on, we can leave at about 8:10 am, so that will be nice. And it will be even better when he rides the bus and I don't have to be showered and ready when they come and get him!

That is a cute backpack. That is great that Jonah got into the preschool. I am sure he will love it and will do great. We have been going through a similar process with Jade. We don't know if she qualifies for preschool yet, we will find out later this month. I had to order her birth certificate as well. And I have to go to her doctors to get her immunization record updated too. She has been working with the Learning Center and has been improving. I have been using sign language to help communicate with her. It was the Learning Center's idea. But I don't know why I didn't think of it, since I have taken several sign language classes. The signing really seems to help her a lot, to see and hear the word. She is saying more words now, which is cool. The Learning Center only works with the child until their 3rd birthday, and Jade turns 3 in April. I am hoping she will get into the preschool program.
I have to let you know that I love reading your blog. I check it all the time. It is so cute too. How did you design it? I don't know how to do a lot of stuff on the computer. I have been working on a blog, but I am not happy with how the page looks. I would appreciate any help. Thanks for doing your blog. It is a nice way to keep in touch and see what is going on in your lives.

I had a hard time believing that Jonah was even old enough to be a sunbeam and now he is going to pre-school. He's going to be on a mission before we all know it!. What a cutie he is. Don't worry mom, this is only the beginning. The first is always the hardest.
Look how grown up he looks. What a big, exciting day for him!!
Jonah looks so cute! I can't believe he is starting pre school!
