1st Day of Preschool!

August 8th was Noah's 1st Day of preschool. He was so excited and has been even more excited everyday since. He is going 3 days a week and asks why he can't go everyday. I tell him the truth "Mommy would miss you too much". He is such a big boy - getting his snack, homework and show and tell altogether in his backpack. Most days he is very good at telling me what he has learned and done, especially when I let the conversation flow naturally and don't ask him a million questions. Every morning in carpool line he reminds me of what he is "incharge off" "obeying his teacher and showing kindness to others" I have to brag because he even gives examples of how he will do both of these things. Lately he is very interested in what he is in charge of since we talk about Daddy being in charge of fixing things and replacing batteries in toys, taking out trash and going to work, etc and Mommy being in charge of making his breakfast and lunch, going to the grocery store, growing the baby in her tummy, etc. He always wants to know what he is in charge of... as of today his list is - obeying his teacher and his parents, showing kindness to others, making his bed, putting away his books, putting dirty clothes in his hamper, feeding his fish (whose name changes daily) and his dog Addison. Recently he said to me Mommy "that's alot of stuff I am in charge of I need help to remember it all" - which of course we help him, but he really does it all well! I am so proud of him!
As he is getting older we have been talking about school, big kids and what you get to you as you get older. Ask Noah when you get to stay home alone and when you get to drive a car and he will tell "oh around 35"! Leave for college "around 37!"
Precious! Precious! Precious! things he says.
