Charlie started preschool this week. Last year we did a little co-op preschool with some friends, but this year he is going to preschool all on his own. (Some of his friends from last year are in his class, which he is extremely excited about.) We have been reading about preschool and talking about it for a little over a month. Two weeks before we took him school shopping. He was very excited to shop just for Charlie. He even found a backpack. We were a bit surprised at his choice, but couldn’t turn him down because he was over-the-top excited about it. It was Go, Diego, Go – which is a show that we have watched maybe 3 times in the past year and a half. We started a countdown the week before, and so by the time the day arrived, he was so excited he couldn’t contain himself. He woke up at 6:30, which is VERY early for him, and ate his oatmeal mega-fast. And then we had some time to kill before we left, so we did a quick photo shoot. (This means he had about 20 minutes to run, jump and play outside.) It was a good thing, because I think he really needed to get outside to run off his energy!!!
Finally, it was time to go. He very excitedly put on his new Go, Diego, Go backpack and ran out the door... Literally. On the way out, he noticed the moon was still up in the sky. It was a gibbous moon, and he kept telling me that someone had taken a bite out of it... He was in a very comical mood! I finally managed to get him over to the car, and he agreed to take the backpack off so he could get in, and we were off. Unfortunately, he still had quite a bit of energy – nerves is probably a better descriptor – when we got there, and he wouldn’t let go of my leg when it was time for me to walk away. But he ended up having so much fun and has been talking about it endlessly for the past few days. He is really excited to go back on Tuesday!
