On Tuesday, 9/1, Will started preschool! He felt pretty serious about the whole thing, but was optimistic and also very much looking forward to playing with all the toys in the playroom.
Will's preschool is at the JCC in Los Gatos - his classroom is aptly named Dubonim (the Little Bears). His teachers are Lauren and Smadar. They are both quite nice and very professional.
Here's a photo montage of the drop-off process:

Time to get out of the car!

The patented Will Kraus smile re-appears as he begins to play with the farm set in the classroom!
Once he got started with the cow and the horse, he barely noticed us saying our final goodbyes! Mark and I left and went to get some breakfast at Sweet Pea's cafe, sans toddler - a strange experience, but not entirely unpleasant...
We are proud of Will for being a big kid who goes to school!
"Hey Will, look who's here!"
"Dada?"
"DADAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Dad got a big hug. And also a report from Lauren - Will did well in general but had a little trouble following directions and relinquishing his sippy cup when it was requested... oops. Mom and Will are working on "giving up the cup" drills now... more "give it" and less "WILLIAM GRAB IT" is the aim.
