Alllll Out of Order But....

Just want to get everyone updated on some of the things we've been up to since we last checked in.  The most recent, and most fun, has been starting PRESCHOOL!  Yes, folks, he has finally mastered potty training, so he was ready for the big leagues. We started the Bethlehem Lutheran Little Lambs 3 year old preschool program at the beginning of September, and it has been....interesting. On the first day, I got to attend with him through the whole 1/2 day program, and he loved it. He was chosen as the "Prayer Helper" for that week, they got to look at some cocoons and chrysallises forming moths and butterflies and read "The Kissing Hand" which has become a new tradition for us. I proudly dusted my hands thinking, look at this brave boy.

Then came day 2. My mother in law is being charged with dropping him off daily, since the program doesn't start until 8:45. With that, she got the pleasure of having him peeled from her body by the teacher as he sobbed uncontrollably. The preschool director assured me that he was fine withing minutes and happily doing a project. Mmmmkay. I'll just take her word for it.

Every Tuesday and Thursday since has been met with "I don't wannnnnnna go to preschool!" and "I'm never gonna have fun there!" and "I"m not eating snack or doing playdoh or ANYTHING! EVER!". But every Tuesday and Thursday night he's all smiles and shows me the projects he's practiced and promises he'll "Never cry about preschool again. EVER!".

I definitely think he might be learning a thing or two though:
