First Day of Pre-K

Dallin has been very excited for school to start.  He was in for a surprise when eight other friends showed up for our first day of school!

 A very serious, handsome Dallin

The real Dallin we know and love

Nine students is a lot but I have a 14-year old girl who is home schooled who teaches with me.  I don't know what I would do without her!

Dallin loves school and is learning so much.  I think his favorite part though is any playing with his friends.  He is always asking for a friend to stay after preschool for more play time.  The bigger class isn't his favorite though because he doesn't get as much attention.  He asked last week why he couldn't have his class from last year (just four kids).  Poor kid doesn't quite understand that more changes are coming.  One of his friends last year moved over the summer, another boy who is two weeks younger than Dallin and lives around the corner is moving to Australia in a month, and the last boy from last year is moving in December.  Thank goodness he has six other friends to get to know!

On a side note, when Zane worked for his public accounting firm, we considered taking a position in Australia through the firm.  It would have been the same city Dallin's friend is moving to.  After spending a couple of months looking into everything, we decided not to take the position mainly because it would be very hard to adopt while living there and we would have to put off our family.  It would have been fun to live in Australia with our friends though (and we are a little jealous)!
