First week behind us.

I enjoyed a wonderful day yesterday with Isaac. We snuggled and talked lots and lots. I have to be careful about how I ask questions or he shuts me down. He shares lots. It is obviously an enjoyable program for him, but lots of adjustment. He is not much of a sitter and prefers to stand for activities rather that stay seated in a chair. He is beginning to talk more about friends by their names. He has expressed that he doesn't like doing group time, the most structured part of his day. Rest time is a struggle for him since it is completely foreign to him without his pop and without me or dad there with him. The second day Mrs. Sims said he could bring a stuffed animal to help him rest. Apparently Turtley didn't do a good job being quiet and talked a lot. We spent lots of time talking about being quiet and that he is the one talking even if he is pretending it is Turtley. The third the teacher said it was some better. On Friday I did not a report from the teacher about nap, instead she told me that he told her she was the best teacher in the world. Funny boy. As we were pulling away, Isaac offered that rest time did not go very well! I asked if his teacher wanted him to remain quiet, he said yes. I asked what she said to him about it, he said nothing. I asked about the other teacher. He said she said also said nothing, just looked like "this". I could not see him so I asked him to tell me what she looked like. "like she saw a very scary monster!"

I am still excited but do miss him while he is gone.

Saturday we saw a friend from school at chick fil a. His mom said he talks about Isaac all the time.

Today was isaac's first day of preschool. He is attending Little Learners at Loganville High School in the ECE program. It is a highly recommended preschool program. We visited several times last year and have really talked it up this summer.

He woke up very excited that the day was finally here. We had a back pack ready with extra clothes, just in case, and his special blanket for naps. His beloved pop would not be going to preschool. He was fully aware of this. His lunch was packed and nice and cold.

Right now he is very into Skechers shoes. He does notbhave any but calls all of his by that name and says they make him rum fast and jump far. I remember a story about Red Ball Jets from my childhood.

I leave him without tears from either of us. I do not make it til pick up time without crying.

He is so excited to see me, come running and jumps into my arms. "it took too long for you to come back!". But he ran to his cubby to get his things and was ready to go. He talked about eating lunch and his tummy hurting because he missed me. :(. But he is excited to go again tomorrow. He said he did not sleep at rest time because he didn't have pop. Mrs. sims said he asked everyone to check their pockets for a pop! Funny boy. She said tomorrow she will sit by him.

For now he is all talked out and sleeping beside me as I type about his day. Forever my little child. Just like the three that once had a first day of school.

We shall try again. Typed out a long post only to have it disappear after I previewed how it will look. Gonna do a couple practice runs before a big one.
