Maxwell's 1st day of Pre-school

Maxwell had his first day of pre-school today. 7:30am came pretty early this morning considering Maxwell's rarely up before 8:30am. It was a slow start but once he was dressed and had his backpack on he was stoked. He said he didn't even have time to eat breakfast because he didn't want to be late, so cute. I was worried that he might be a little less enthusiastic once we got there, but his excitement didn't change.
He is going to be in an integration program at a local elementary school that incorporates autistic children, getting them ready to go to public school. It's a small class. There are 4 autistic children and 3 "neighborhood friends", which includes Maxwell. He was so excited when I came to pick him up he said "Mom, I love school. can I come everyday?" It was so cute seeing him so excited about it. The teachers there were wonderful. They were very encouraging about having Maxwell there to participate and be friends with the other children.
The school also has a really great after school sports program that includes soccer, track and field and t-ball that will be fun to have him involved with also.
I can't believe that Maxwell is getting so big. He is such a big boy now, no more toddler stage. He is my sweet, sweet boy. We love you bubs!
