First day of Pre-school!



I guess we're not really an early morning family.....


We have been blessed to be able to put Anders into pre-school this year! It's something I've been thinking about but didn't think was possible due to finances and having only one car. Things have worked out and now Anders will be attending this great pre-school at the local Presbyterian church two days a week this Fall! He's going this week as well to get used to it but then we'll be out of town for two weeks to visit my sisters in Texas. (Yeah!)

I couldn't ask for a better environment for Anders to be in. The teachers are kind and responsible, the facility is clean and interesting and they have a bunny named "Sugar Foot" who Anders care very much about.

One funny thing about putting him into school is the introduction to "cliques". When we went to check out the school he was playing on the climbing equipment and a little girl ran up to him and said "are you a surfer?" (Apparently there is high value on one being a surfer or ones daddy being a surfer in Malibu.) Of course Anders had no idea what she was talking about but he looked pleased that a little girl was talking to him....
Today when I picked him up I spied on him for a few minutes to see how he was doing. It looked like he was having fun and seemed to fit in just fine despite not being a "surfer".

Woohoo Anders! Big boy! That is great! What a huge leap for everybody. How nice, too, to have some time for yourself.

That will be fun for Anders. Our kids did some 2-days-a-week preschools, too. It's just enough for them to get to play with others, but not too much that they want it to stop.
