Yesterday, Ethan went to his first day of Preschool! I wanted him to start last fall, but never could find a morning Preschool that had an opening. My Mom found this one and they let him join at the second semester! He was SO EXCITED. And that made me happy. He LOVED it. And I love that he loves it. And I love that he has something to do twice a week now. Madeline is a little undecided about the whole thing! She spent the first half of the time he was gone saying, “Oh no, where’s Ethan?!” and “Madeline go Preschool too!” But then after she discovered that she could play with HIS toys uninterrupted, she started to like him being at Preschool a little more. We also went to the store while he was gone and it was so easy to only have one kid with me!
Ethan came home so happy. They talked about winter, played with shaving cream like it was snow, learned about the letter “W” (“Mom they said words like walrus and watch, but they didn’t say wolf, I just thought of that one right now!”), practiced writing, sang, danced, and played. Him going is an answered prayer to a prayer I didn’t even know I had. Here are a couple of pictures from right before we left to go:

Yeah! So happy he likes it so much. And so happy for you. It is amazing how much easier things are when just one is around... oh wait, just when I was getting that I am going and having another... hmmm :)
That is hilarious, Emily...Ethan, I am thrilled you can go...Have a super fun time!
And so it begins. Do you think they'll want to put him in third grade next week?
So glad he likes it! He looks so grown-up, it's crazy.
