Back to School

Drew had is first day at his new preschool today and everything went great. He was excited to go and meet new people and see his new room - both of those things blew my mind! He had been clingy at drop off the last couple of weeks in Knoxville so I expected some real drama this morning. Instead he went right in, headed to the toys and started playing. He made a new friend today - Tobi. They hit it off right away and apparently he is the only kid Drew played with today. At least he has found one friend! He did inform me, as we were getting in the car at pick up, that there is not a train table at his new preschool. But he didn't seem too traumatized by that so hopefully he will just play with other things and go on with life! He is only there for 2 1/2 hours on Tuesday and Thursday so it is a much shorter experience but I think that will help. For mommy it means a longer nap on those days - he was exhausted today! Thursday is pajama day and he thought his teacher has lost her mind - "Mommy, my teacher said for me to wear pajamas and shoes to school on Thursday. That seems silly!" They do a lot of theme days and I think he will enjoy that!

I have not found any programs here that take children Allen's age. For that matter, the youngest I have found is Drew's current class (3 by 12/31) so I guess Allen will have to wait until August 2010 to go back to school. I'm debating between Kindermusik and the Little Gym to give him an outing one day a week while Drew is at school. He needs the interaction for sure!

I did get a picture of him this morning before we left. Whenever I figure out how to download photos from my new camera (that I got for Christmas...almost a month of pictures trapped in that little thing!) I will update this post. Allen climbed in the picture too - I think he felt a little left out!
