today was his orientation day at preschool. he was a little shy, but loved the play equipment. while we were talking to his teacher he played in the puzzle corner. then he moved to various tables, playing with the toys on them. he selected a tile with a picture of a lion as the place to hang his hand towel.
on the way home he asked me: "mama, how do i make friends?". i told him just to talk to the children that he is sitting with.
after his bath at night he likes me to wrap his towel tightly around him and carry him to his room. last night he said "mama, don't pick me up because i am a big preschool boy now."
it is exciting to see him growing. i still think i will cry when we leave him on his first day though. and this isn't even "big" school!
It is exciting to watch them grow and develop and to discover the world around them in an environment set up specifically for that purpose. This will be an exciting year for Nicholas ... he's gonna love it!!
