preschool!

Emmett has started his preschool journey, and is well on his way!  Despite having a moment of panic after Anna got on the bus and he realized it was his turn to go, he did start his first day of preschool with a smile!

Now, nearly a month in he (almost always) runs into school with a smile and has made some new friends - one in particular named Nathan, and he has formed a special bond with one of his teachers.  We have had only one rocky day where his teacher mentioned that Emmett was sad and that he missed me.  It happened to be a day where the main teacher was gone, so I am guessing that had something to do with it.

Emmett is busy learning about letters, how to recognize his name, learning new songs and prayers and about being social outside of our family circle.  Some lessons are fun and interesting, others make me laugh out loud.  For example, here's one little tidbit that came home with him this week:

Emmett:  Mom, there was this little boy at school today...
Me:  Yeah?  What about him?  Did something happen?
Emmett:  Well, I told him that MY daddy was stronger than HIS daddy.
Me:  Hmm, I don't think that's a very nice thing to say Emmett, you could hurt his feelings.
Emmett:  Well he didn't CRY!

Between those stories, and Anna's about holding hands with "Preston", we certainly have our hands full!
