Beau's First Day of New School

Lincoln isn't the only one with a new school these days . . . and it's time to share about Beau's new school adventures.  After the drama of the Medical City flood in July and the temporary school that we went to in way east Richardson, it was time to reconsider Beau's situation.  A really great school opened up a couple of years ago between home and Mommy's work.  Beau got on the list a while back, but things were going smoothly so no real hurry.  When Lincoln started Kindergarten, it was apparent that it was too far to drive to the temporary school or even back to Medical City (when it reopens) to take Beau.  We hit the jackpot and got a much desired spot at Primrose for Beau.  We went to "check it out" as Beau says, and we were all excited.  He couldn't wait for his first day this Monday.  He had witnessed Lincoln's transition to Kindergarten go so smoothly, and we all discussed it like he was starting a new school just like Linc.  Smiley boy on the way in on Monday. 
He led us to his Pre-School room and was excited to get started.  We walked around the room a bit and visited with the teacher for just a minute.  Beau got settled and didn't even care that we were leaving . . . no more "one more hug" or "wait Mommy"!  The director emailed that he was having a great first day, and that was great news.  He really excels in the classroom setting and loves to learn, so this new curriculum will be great for him.  Beau (just like Linc) has already been taught to thrive in Pre-School, and the more detailed program will be great for him.  His teacher commented to Daddy at pick up that Beau had the best first day of any kid ever!   
Tuesday was another successful day for Beau at the new school.  When Mommy arrived to pick him up, he insisted that he wasn't done playing.  "Could you go get Lincoln and come back for me later?"  Um, no!!!  We spent a few minutes talking with his main teacher, and she's awesome.  She completely loved that Beau is the best little student ever.  She reiterated that he's had the best transition to a new school of any kid she's ever had!  Yay, Beau! 
On the way out, Beau needed his picture made by the Minion wall to show Lincoln how cool his school is!  Sibling rivalry already! 
We are so glad that Beau's first days at his new school are going so well.  He is really confident and comfortable in his new environment.  Such a relief!!!
 
Once dinner, baths, books, and bedtime are done, the boys are supposed to stay in their rooms.  THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!  Beau has been coming out multiple times each evening stating that he just needs to give Mommy one more squeeze hug.  Who can say no to that?



Seriously the sweetest thing ever.  Beau can be the most determined and challenging little guy EVER, but he can also be the sweetest and squeeze huggiest little guy EVER.  We love Beau so much, and we love that he is loving his new school so much.  This Mommy should only hope to get such sweet hugs each night, even if they are after the hugger should be sleeping!
