Time for Mikey's first day of Pre-K!
He won't let me call it preschool.
He tells me, very matter-of-factly, that, "Pre-K is the name of the class I am in that is in the building that is called preschool."
He was very excited about being in Pre-K.
But when the day came to actually go......
Well, he was less than excited.
One of his bestest pals felt the same way.
There are 23 kids in his class (including him). It was kinda overwhelming to see them all out on the playground. It was even overwhelming for the grown-ups.
This is only 14 or 15 of them.....
It kinda helped that his first day was also my day to "work" at the preschool.
So he was able to get into the swing of things easily.
Here he is sharing Donatello in front of the class with Teacher Dorothy.
He had a lot to say.
A little art project.....
..... and then doing the calendar and the pattern.....
....and getting to be "line leader" because his Mommy brought snack.
It was a crazy first day at presch.....Ooops. I mean Pre-K.
When we got home. It was back to normalcy.
Knocking down spider webs with sticks while wearing his "bitey spider whacking" outfit.
This past weekend we attended a "Walk for Wishes" event
to benefit Make A Wish with some of our preschool buddies.
Here's Katie palling around with a fellow preschool alum.
Mikey was ready to roll.
Literally.
He rode in the stroller.
The walk started off cheery enough.
Katie and her friend decided it was going to be a "RUN for Wishes" and took off with Huzbend in hot pursuit.
Then there were the rumbles of thunder.
Then there were some raindrops.
Then LOTS of big, giant raindrops.
And then a full on downpour.
Holy soakage, Batman.
But, we all made it to the "finish".
We were a tad soggy, but happy that we could help grant some wishes in our own small way.
GIRRRRRRLLLLL POWER!!!!!
