Pre-K

My son started Pre-K on Monday. I was anxious about how it would go. My husband and I took him in to the school. He went right over to his classmates and teacher and sat down on the pillows they were all on and started chatting. My husband and I both watched for a moment and then told him we were going to leave and he paid us no mind. It was so funny, we were there all of maybe a full minute and he waltzed right in like he’d been going there and knew everyone for years. I’m happy that he’s confident enough to be able to do that!

Since he has started Pre-K he’s told me that there is a cute girl in his class who was wearing a green shirt. Green is his favorite color so I’m sure that had something to do with it. He also told me that they were working on walking in a straight line, which they call ‘line up’ and that he likes playing on the playground but he can’t climb up the ladder to get to everything by himself. I reassured him and told him to keep trying each day and he’ll be able to do it soon. He also told me that they were read a story about “Apple Annie.” I looked this up online and found out there is a series of books, each one about one letter of the alphabet and a character is used to teach each letter.

I’m so proud of him and the way he has so easily adjusted to this transition. I honestly think it’s been harder on me than him. I have started knitting a lot recently. I'm making him a zip-up cardigan and let him pick out the yarn color and, of course, he picked out bright green. I can't wait to have it finished and see how much he enjoys wearing it.
