Preschool already? It seems like yesterday I was being rushed into surgery to meet my first baby boy. Now he is a confident, cute 3 1/2 year old! David was so excited to start preschool yesterday morning. He is going to Kanab Preschool, which is located in the high school. He goes 4 days/week for 3 hours a day. And because it is a state sponsored program, he gets to ride a bus to and from school! It's great! They pick him up and drop him off right in front of our house. They have a preschool aide that rides with him too. That's reassuring. I thought David would be a little hesitant yesterday when the bus showed up, but he walked right over and hopped in. He didn't even turn around and wave. So quick in fact, that I didn't even have time to snap a picture. I did get one of him getting off on his way home. :)
It's only his first week, but I already love the program and his teacher. He has a page of homework each night and a letter to learn each week. He starts practicing writing his name tomorrow. They also send a book home each night for him to read. Then he takes it back the next day and gets another one. Sure does beat buying new books all the time. :)

"Bye yellow bus!"
Steven was "snoring" waiting for David to come home. Hilarious!
Politics in a small town sure are crazy! For those of you that didn't know, James ran for City Council this month. There were a total of 8 people running with only 3 spots to fill. It was definitely competitive. James knew he was the underdog, going against people who have raised their kids here and have been residents for 30+ years. But he got his name out there. The primary election was yesterday and he unfortunately didn't make the cut. He still got 200+ votes though. Not bad for the "new guy" in town. Even though he didn't make it this year, it sure was fun to be a part of the process. He ran a good campaign. We put signs up all over town, went door to door, was interviewed for the newspaper and participated in 2 public forums to get his ideas heard. I'm very proud of my man and the boys are very proud of their daddy! :)
