Here we are, three years later and in preschool! It is amazing how newborn, infant, baby and toddler seem so far away from preschool. But now our daily conversations are about new teachers (Ms. Pat and Ms. Erin), new friends, projects, stories, songs, snack, and play! Simon knows which direction down Ardmore is his preschool and that it is across the street from the library. He asks to see the door he goes into each time we drive by the church.
Ten minutes before we left the house for his first day, he cried "I want blankie" and "I need Dad-dy". He was so unsure about what was to happen. We have talked about it like crazy, but that doesn't mean he knows exactly what preschool without Mommy or Daddy will be like. We walked in with him and hung up his backpack, found his name tag, and got him settled playing with the toys. Then we told him that we were leaving. He walked towards us but left some distance, threw his arm up in the air and shouted "bye". He had a great first day. Not that we heard a lot of details despite our numerous question prompts. According to him he made a project (magnet), Ms. Pat sang Twinkle Star, he played boat with boys, had a snack, and did not go to the bathroom!

This is the door that Simon goes into for preschool. The basement window to his right/our left looks into his classroom.
On his way!
Simon's cubby!
