Prepping for preschool – my baby is going to school

By

Today is a big day.  It’s Meet the Teacher at Bug’s new preschool.

Backpack, ready for school

I am totally excited as I think he needs a little outside activity that does not involve mommy.  Sure, he loves me to pieces, but a little social activity with 9 other kids is just up his alley (and mine.)

I was nervous about pulling him out of daycare this summer when I started working part-time.  But he did great.  We had a little adjustment period (totally normal) but all in all, this summer was a blast.  He loved his two babysitters and was very happy having me home more often.

I’ve been telling him for a week now all about his new school, but I’m pretty sure he thinks we’re going right back to Miss Christy’s classroom. I say “Bug, we’re going to your new school” and he says “NOOOOO, we go to my OL’ skool.”  Hopefully, when he sees two kids he already knows and a bunch of new toys and circle activities, he’ll be perfectly content.  I hope so anyway.  I don’t want him to be nervous or sad.

Besides, it’s only two days a week.

Frankly, after going to daycare 40 hours a week for his entire life, six hours a week seems kind of chinsy.  By the time I drop him off, I’ll barely have time to do some laundry, play with little miss or check my email.  But it’ll do for this year.  And it’ll allow us to get into the groove of mommy being home full-time.

I’ll just have to get really creative at finding other activities around town…especially with winter being closer than we think.

Storytime at the library anyone?

  1. Preschool. It was such a joyous time in our lives. Peanut loved it and he was so happy to march off with his backpack everyday. So happy to see Bug ready to face the day!

  2. Bug looks adorable and that backpack is awesome. I need labels for everything Eli takes to preschool, too. There’s another Eli in his class so I always need to make sure things are labeled correctly with his first and last name to make sure he makes it home with all of his things. Loving your new design, it’s fabulous Erin!!!

  3. I pretty much need labels for everything! With number three on the way, I might need to even start labeling my own stuff 🙂 Kidding (maybe), but I would love to be able to label HC’s jackets, shoes, bags, etc. since she’s now in Pre-K and involved in all sorts of different activities.

  5. We label everything at our house! Including: jackets, sweatshirts, sports bags, backpacks, pencil holders, notebooks, binders, and shoes. These labels would definitely come in handy.

  7. Everything! We could use labels for all the kids thermoses (they drink a medical formula for their PKU), supplies, backpacks and clothing!

  11. WE tend to lose everything – not me – others. So, we need labels for everything under the sun.

  14. Your new site is gorgeous!!! Love it!

    And thanks for an awesome giveaway. I can’t believe I already need labels for Sophie … for all of her daycare stuff (bottles, “lunch” bag, blanket, sleep sack, etc.)

    Congrats, Erin!

  15. My 3yo twins are are in preschool this year and I’m supposed to label every item of clothing they bring in. It’s only their 2nd day and I’m already tired of labeling. Mabel’s labels would be really handy

  21. I need labels for shoes, backpacks, dressers (where the school uniforms are at), &’ jackets. He tends to forget where its at!

  29. I never even thought about labels until last week! I had to label everything with a permanent marker for Kinley’s preschool. I totally need labels for clothes, sippy cups, shoes, bags, and everything else!! Bet the kids love having you at home!

  31. I could use labels for everything! We are using a sharpie and masking tape for my son right now. So not stylish. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

  33. I don’t think there is much in my home . I would use to to label everything from backpacks to their cubbies at school.

  35. our preschool makes you label EVERYTHING, I would use these on toys, drinks, cups, bottles, clothes, lol, like everything

  37. I could use these for SO many things! My 5 year old just started kindergarten, so it would defiantly benefit me (and his teacher) if all of his stuff was labeled. Also, i am pregnant and due Dec 17th, So it would be great to “tag” the baby’s stuff! I am a stay at home mom, so my children dont go to daycare, but it would nice to be able to his name on Bottles, diaper bags, passies, etc for church and such!
    thanks for offering a GREAT giveaway!

  40. My son loses EVERYTHING. I swear, I’d stick a label on his forehead just to make sure he doesn’t lose it if it should ever come unattached! LOL
