Update on Preschool

No new pictures to post but I thought I would give a quick update on how preschool is going :)  There were only tears on the first day.  Day 2 of preschool (last Friday) he said he didn't want to go to preschool but when I dropped him off one of his teachers was the one to get him out of our car so he recognized her right away and it seemed to reassure him.  Since then he is excited to go to preschool. 

He has already brought artwork home (came home with paint on his hands one day).  He comes home singing new songs he learns in class....one about a slippery fish, octopus, whale, tuna fish, and a great white shark?!  He knows his teachers are Miss Lynn and Miss Debbie and that Addison (a neighbor girl) is in his class.  The teacher asked me if Ben and Addison knew each other last Friday when she was putting Ben in the car, so apparently it's noticeable that they are friends :) 

The teacher sent out her first weekly e-mail last Friday with how the class did and things they are working on.  She also sends along some requests for things to send to school with Ben.  They wanted a family picture for a board they are working on.  Ben and I gathered acorns yesterday on a walk for the acorn week they are going to have in October.  The teacher also gave us our first assignment today which is due next week.  We have to trace Ben's hand and then write in his character qualities.  All of this might seem like no big deal for those of you that have kids in school or daycare already but this is so much fun for us (or at least me)!  I love this new stage, and not because I get to drop him off for 2 1/2 hours on MWF but because he is learning so much already and seems to love it!
