Preschool

Connor completed his first full week as a real Preschooler! His teachers report that he adjusted with no problem, and though tired, he seemed really happy too.
Nearly every day he's been excited to tell us about one of the day's activities. The first day, he found it amusing that his teacher said, "Don't eat the cookie!" when she passed out animal crackers for an art project. (They are studying habitats.) Another day he told us about drawing a picture of our house (his habitat).
The Preschool program is typically for 3 and 4 year-olds, and yesterday afternoon I got to spend some time talking to his classmates. Most of them are much larger than him, and some of them can spell their names.
Connor was happy to see me, but he didn't rush over with the teary expression as he would in his former classroom. He sat and finished his snack, and then made his way to claim me before I decided to take another child home.
