The kids had their first days of preschool last week and all-in-all, it was pretty successful. Miss C started on Tuesday and had a great first week. There was one little snafu (according to her). From what I understand, they were making a picture and at the bottom was the sentence, "Today was my first day at TK. I felt ________.". She tried to put "happy" in the blank. She got H-A-P and then couldn't figure out the rest. I guess the teacher pushed her to sound it out and she got pretty frustrated. So on the way home that day, she wanted me to help her spell it over and over again until she memorized it. I guess she wants to make sure she never has trouble spelling happy again!
Beyond that little wrinkle, she loves it. There are about 10 or 11 kids in her class and several of them she knows from last year. I think it's going to be a great year!
Little J went on Wednesday and had a good first day too. When I dropped him off, he was a little confused as to why Miss C wasn't going with him. She's at the same school, but doesn't start until 9:15 (he's at 9) and she's in a different "classroom". He didn't get upset or anything, but I think he really wanted her to be with him. After I pulled around, he forgot all about us and had a great time playing with his new friends. When I picked him up that afternoon, the only thing he had to say was, "the green shirt squirted me with the water." I guess they will filling up the water table for recess and a little boy wearing a green shirt turned the hose to Little J and drenched him. I'm sure that went over well, you know, because he's such a relaxed little boy and loves having his clothes wet (ha!). But he must of recovered quickly because when I got there, he was playing in the water table, drenched clothes and all.
This week they both go for the full week and I'm excited to get into a routine. Little J will go MWF and Miss C will go M-Th. So I'll have some individual time with each of them and I'll even get 2 days alone!
