Back to school for Charlie

 Charlie & his new amazing teacher at the school open house

It's fall and that means it's back to school again!  Charlie was really excited to start preschool again this year.  Last year he was in the 3 year old class, but this year he is in the BIG 4 year old class.  Big man on campus!  He is really excited to be the oldest :)

The night before school we had a special dinner.  After he received a back to school blessing from his dad.

Charlie has a perfectionist personality.  If something doesn't come easy he gets flustered and wants to quit.  I'm constantly reinforcing that nothing is easy until after you practice and work really hard.  It's such a truth about life and our talks have been a great reminder for myself!  He brings little books home and we work on them together.  He has quite a list of sight words down!  He passes them off at school and each time tells me how proud he is to get his sticker on his chart.  I try to make learning at home fun and we work on something a little each day.

It's preschool so really I just want him to have fun and make friends.  He is great at making friends!  He has a way of getting along with all types of personalities.

It is so much fun watching Charlie grow up.  These kids come to earth with their own personalities and so much to offer!  I'm just lucky to be his mother.
