1st day of Bible Bears (Owen's pre-school)

Owen's first day of Bible Bears was pretty good. Greg and I both went to drop him off that morning and he went right in and starting playing with a friend, Cole. As soon as we told him "bye bye" the fireworks started. The teacher said he cried for about 5 minutes and then was fine. Owen's teacher, Miss Tisha said he would play, play, play and then remember that Mommy wasn't there and cry a little and then play, play, play and then remember Mommy wasn't there and cry....

When I went back to pick him up at the end of the day, he was in the teachers lap laughing while they were reading a book which was so wonderful to see. Miss Tisha said that Owen asked to take a nap while they were eating lunch, went and got his nap-mat, laid down and went to sleep with the lights on and everything. He does LOVE his nap time, but how funny is that?! I know he had a good time because that evening he was playing with his tools and asked if he could "take to school?"

Below are the 3 times I tried to get a picture of Owen on his first day of school.

Here he is wanting to see the camera... LOL!
Another picture with his backpack behind him and his rolled up nap-mat, but no smile. Maybe tomorrow I can get better pictures.
I can say that this stay at home Mom was a total mess all day Tuesday with Owen at school. I was sad because I missed him, but I had prayed a lot about this day and felt peaceful and knew that God had put Owen in good hands. The Lord sure knows what he is doing!!!! Thank you Lord for such a wonderful blessing!!!!!
