First day of Mother's Day Out

Checking out his new backpack

The picture Kristen sent me of Landon getting ready for nap time!

October 25

We enrolled Landon in MDO on Tues/Thurs from 9-2 at the church we attend, Prestonwood. We absolutely love this church, and the director of MDO programs could not be any sweeter!! On our way there I felt a knot in my stomach, I was nervous. I felt like it was "MY" first day of school. Dustin assured me Landon would do great, I just needed the first drop off to be over with I guess. We walked hand-in-hand into church and met with Kristen (the director). She took us to his classroom, and gave us a run down of the schedule. His teacher, Ms. Drake was gone that day but his other teachers were there. Its very reassuring because he has 3 teachers in one classroom. Every time someone at church would ask who his teacher was and I told them, "Ms. Drake"- the responses I got were WONDERFUL! That was such great news! I mean, I know I shouldn't expect anything less from Prestonwood. He walked right in with his little nap mat and dinosaur backpack, looking like a big boy. We went into the class room just to get one last kiss bye, (he was VERY ready for me to leave by the way) and a picture!

Wasn't sure if I was going to make it to the car before crying, wasn't sure how Landon would react. Well, very surprising I didn't cry. Landon didn't either but that wasn't a huge shock to me. I was so excited, because HE was excited! He is such a big boy!

Kristen told me to call and check on him if I wanted to and she would text me a pic, well sure enough I called around noon and she sent me a picture of him laying on his nap mat ready for nap time!

I am so excited about this MDO program and how wonderful he is doing. He even knows some of the kids names, and talks about them. Gracie and Ben. Every Tues/Thurs he brings home artwork and a note of how his day went. We look so forward to this! His teacher is so wonderful and caring.
