Natalie's first day of pre-school went OK. She was letting out an ear-piercing scream when I left, but the teacher seemed positive when they brought her out to the car afterward. She looked like such a big girl with her backpack on, and looked quite happy at that point. (I will post a picture later- that morning she did NOT want her picture taken, and I know better than to poke a bear.) She said she had fun, and she also said she wanted to go home now. When we got home she wanted her too-small, overly-warm footed snowman pajamas on. I think she needed a little comfort. Since it is still about 97 outside, it didn't last too long.
Liam had a homework assignment from Kindergarten last night, where he was supposed to finish the sentence "One thing I want to learn this year is...." His answer was "how things work". So I asked what kind of things, and he said "like electrical boxes." :-) :-)
Awwwww...now that brought back memories. Before he could walk, and all he wanted to play with was eletrical cords of any sort (an old stereo receiver with the audio cords to plug in and out was heaven)...when he first started drawing real "things" and he would draw a box with lots of circles and dashes on it and tell me it was an electrical box...all the things every young boy does (??). It is true, he has always had a fascination with those things. I can honestly say that telling me "learning to read" was probably not even in his Top 10. We'll see what his teacher has to say. I really must ask her to add this to the Kindergarten curriculum.
