Lance's first day of PREP

Lance's first day of PREP (Preschool) was Feb. 1, 2012.  He was SOOOOO excited to go to school like his big sister!  So proud! ;)  He absolutely could NOT wait for school to start!  He goes all day Wed, Thurs., and Fridays.  His teacher is Mrs. Merwe (pronounced "Merver") and we LOVE her.  The unfortunate thing is we just found out that her and her husband are moving up to Queensland in July to help start/pastor a new church, so Lance will be getting a new teacher for Terms 3 and 4.  We're going to miss her, but she's done a great job at "prepping" the kids and telling them how "nice" their new teacher is going to be!  That's what we keep hearing from Lance anyway!! ;)  Lance has lots of friends and is very eager to learn new things.

 He's wearing his summer uniform here, but in Terms 2 and 3 he wears the winter uniform (exact same shirt, only long sleeves, and green wind pants).

 The backpack looks a lot bigger in this picture than it really is!!

 His symbol is the lobster and this is where he hangs his hat and towel to dry his hands after washing them.
