Well, it finally happened... Charlie started preschool today! When we first moved here, I was frantically trying to find a class for him. Every home run preschool was full and I was at least number 4 on multiple waiting lists. Miraculously a preschool down the street opened a new 3 year old class! We took a quick tour and hurried to get his name on the list.
A letter from his teacher came a couple weeks ago. He was very excited to get some mail! We met his teacher and took a tour of his classroom the following week. It was a very exciting day.
The night before school we had a special dinner picked by Charlie: scrambled eggs, sausage, tater tots and fruit. Breakfast foods are a favorite around here. After dinner we had a little FHE and decorated Charlie's new school bag. We talked about listening to the teacher, being a friend, what to do if you have to go potty...the basics.
Charlie: "mom, tomorrow you can play with Joey so you won't be sad. I have to grow up now. I have to go to school."
Just before bed Charlie got a special priesthood blessing from his dad. As we were getting ready daddy asked Charlie,"do you know your full name?" Charlie's response? "Charlie preschool kid." We tried so hard not to bust up laughing. He is starting to say the funniest things lately!
I asked Charlie what he wanted for his special breakfast and "panpakes" were requested. His all time favorite. We all walked Charlie to preschool this morning. I'm excited to live close enough so we can walk if we want to!
I'm so proud of Charlie! He had a great day learning about the letter "M" and "Marvin the Monkey." Of course his clothes came off within two minutes of being home. I can't keep clothes on this kid!
Charlie is imaginative, creative and wants to be good. We're lucky to have him in our family.
