School Time!

We have a Preschooler in the house.  Oliver started school this past Tuesday at La Crosse Montessori Preschool.  He loves it.  When we get to school he walks in, takes a good look around, then finds a project to get started on and away he goes.  No looking back.  As a first-time school Mom I am so glad he feels comfortable there and is excited to get in and get started.  My heart is at ease.  But I do have to say that a good-bye hug would be nice.  Maybe he could at least pretend that he'll miss me?  

Ollie the Preschooler

Oliver goes three mornings a week, so that means that Henry now gets some uninterrupted Mom time.  The school is about a mile away from our house, so we can walk there.  We haven't done that yet, but we will try it this week.  I asked Oliver what he does while he's at school.  "Don't know?" was his first response.  After a little prodding I found out he loves to feed the classroom goldfish, Goldie and Glub Glub.  He also loves to play a memory game with one of the teachers, and pound golf tees into a piece of styrofoam with a little wooden hammer. And so starts a new chapter for us.  Have fun, Oliver!
