New SCHOOL!!!

So I have started something that has been my dream to do for a LONG time! I have started a little preschool in my home! It's nothing fancy, I just figured that since I have the education, and some friends needed, and I needed, preschool for their kids, that I would fulfill a life long dream of mine and start one up! It is SO much fun! The kids only come twice a week, and so thus far, have only come twice, but it is SO great. It really makes me feel great about myself because it is challenging me to get things ready, think about what each child needs to succeed a little bit better, and set goals and achieve them. It is SO much fun for me, and I really appreciate my friends for trusting me enough to teach their children! So THANKS GUYS!
Both Cole and I were really worried about how Lincoln would do with all of this what with it being in our house and me being the teacher and whatnot, but I have been SO pleasantly surprised! He has been wonderful. He is so great. I lock his room right before class starts, we send Payton off with one of the moms, and he just shifts right into "Preschool Mode". What a trooper. There has only been one time that he has really wanted to go into his room and play with his own toys, but that didn't last very long! All of the children do wonderful, and I am so excited to see them learn and grow. To be a teacher is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done next to being a mother, so it's really fun to be able to exert myself in this way.
Our first little unit is on shapes. The point of the class is pretty much school readiness, and getting the kids used to being away from their mommy's and daddy's. So they have a great time together, and we do lots of fun stuff. Hopefully they learn something in the process! Here are a few pictures of the kids from the other day when we were working on Triangles (hence the triangle hats).

Lejon, Ezra, Lincoln, Stella, Calvin SO CUTE!
