Ben recently starting going to preschool on a local military base. I wasn't quick enough to get photos of him getting on the bus the first day so I got his reaction when he got home instead.
He was so excited to ride the "bus" which is really an 8-passenger van. In fact, he was SO excited that every night before he went to sleep he'd ask if he could ride the bus the next day.
I did get a chance to take his picture on his second day. Just as excited as on the first day. Here's a short video of him getting on the bus with the help of the aide:
The preschool is 20 minutes away, which is why they send a bus for him. For now he'll attend three mornings each week. It's technically a special ed preschool but he was eligible for it because of his speech delays. He used to get speech therapy a few times a month at home through early intervention services, but now he'll get speech therapy twice a week at school instead. For the time being we'll keep sending him to the German kindergarten on the other weekdays. He still enjoys going there (plus he can attend through the summer when the preschool is closed) but we really think his speech will improve by being with other English-speaking kids. And he's having such a good time! I love that he asks every day if he gets to go preschool.

I just love that Benjamin face! As I watch the video, I feel as though I am part of Ben's life. Thanks so much for taking the time to post. Love you, Mom
Ben is becoming a little man. What an engaging look. He seems to love life and everything in it. Love, Dad
