First of the Fours

 A couple LONG weeks after Josie started school Benjamin had his first day in the Four's class at Admiral Co-op Preschool.  This marks my 8th consecutive year being a co-op parent.  Most of those 8 years have been extremely positive but am feeling a bit like I have senoritis as we begin our final year of co-op as a family.

 He is so happy and proud to be in the 4's class this year.

 From day one he has fit in, has had no separation anxiety, goes happily each day and seems to love it overall.  He has made some great new friends this year and strengthened old friendships he had with kids from last year's class.
On the first day he and I worked together on his "draw around" Basically a paper cut out made to look like yourself.

 He and Charlie always look like they are scheming something.  If this year with these boys in a boy dominant class (16 boys and 5 girls) doesn't put Teacher Barb into retirement I'm not sure what will.

When Benjamin returned home the First day of School Fairy also had visited his bed. 

 Yay!  A boomerang and a velcro ball set.

After school they sat and watched TV together and talked about their day. SO Sweet.
