Lesson One: Keep Your Shoes On!

"Mom."
"Yes, Stinger."
"Did you know you have to keep your shoes on the WHOLE time at preschool?"
"You do?!" I said with a knowing smile. "Who told you that?"
"My teacher!" (I have a feeling she told him numerous times, but I am too afraid to ask!)

First Day of Pre-K!
 And with that Stinger's first year of preschool is off and running!  Stinger loves it.  If you could see his classroom you would love it too.  It is every child's dream.  In one corner, blocks, more blocks, trains, tracks, and more trains.  In another there are dolls and a kitchen center to play house.  There is a reading center with comfy places to read.  An art center with paints and new pointy crayons organized by color in separate containers.  I love brand new crayons with sharp points organized by color.  It makes me want to color.  Even a big playhouse with a ladder to climb, right there in the classroom.  

After school on the first day, he looked up at me with the biggest smile and said, "Can I go back tomorrow?"  The entire ride home he told me about all they did.  He loved eating lunch on a tray in his classroom.  He loved playing on the playground.  He even sang a song he learned.  The best part was that this song was about....SHOES!!!   Enjoy!
