Boston Starts Preschool!

Boston started preschool!! Say WHAT?? Is he old enough for this now?! He was accepted into the Headstart preschool program, and goes right in our neighborhood! We had orientation beginning of November, and Boston started November 11th. He goes four days a week in the afternoon for 3 1/2 hours. He LOVES it!! When we went to orientation, however, he cried clung to me and kept saying: "mommy, I don't want you to leave me!" I tried to keep it together, but pretty soon I was sobbing too. All in front of the new teacher. I know she thought I was nuts. I was trying to fill out paperwork, and my tears were all over the pages, it was absolutely ridiculous! We got him excited after that, and he got a backpack, and really really loves his preschool. His teachers name is Pangchi (Pen-chi) who is probably the sweetest, nicest person on the planet. Boston loves her. She is the best!
Since starting preschool, Boston has started reading small words, (at, the, and, etc.) can write his first AND last name, can recognize most numbers, letters and shapes, and is learning all sorts of things. Right now they are talking about animals, and have opened a little pet clinic where they help and learn about different (stuffed) animals. Anytime Boston has free time, he wants to play with the pets. I guess we need a pet sometime.. They also have a class pet, a little fish that they get to take care of. The classes got to vote on a name, and Boston's class chose Dory, but the other class won, so they named it Pikachu. Boston was not happy they didn't get to name the fish Dory!
They have show and tell every Thursday, and he loves to take his favorite toys to show his friends. He made friends with a cute little boy named Joshua, and they always find each other when he gets dropped off. Its so cute.
They feed the kids lunch and a snack while he's there too. Talk about spoiled! The only thing Boston doesn't really like is when they have salad. He says he eats the cheese off the top ha ha. Pretty much the only right way to eat a salad!

First day of school!
