Preschool Open House
***I am just going to get it out there, and admit, I had to bribe Thomas with three potato chips and an M&M to get him to wear this outfit and his Sunday shoes. I am not above bribery for the sake of cuteness and back to school people! ***I didn't tell Thomas until time to get dressed to go, but today was Open House at preschool. Poor Thomas has been not so patiently counting down the days until he can go back to his classroom and his friends and his routine!
We are officially at 7 days, but we got a chance to go and see school, and teachers, and friends today, and he was beyond excited!
Excited until we arrived, and then for one of a handful of times in his life, my son felt "shy!"He buried his head in my stomach when we entered the room and people made a fuss over him. I would have laughed it off, but I could see the fear in his eyes.
I realized quickly it was NOT the outfit! But, rather, a new classroom, a different teacher, new kids, and the realization that not all of his friends from last year would be there.
None of us Shipleys handle change well.
A few moments later I coaxed him over to a table where his friends Bryce, Eli & Matthew were all doing a craft. After that he was just fine.
The other moms and I chatted while the kids colored and played and we skimmed through the heavy packet of materials we need to read and sign--and possibly have blood drawn for.
The four boys and we three moms all left at the same time and I
Typical boys decided to act silly, so I don't have a great picture of them, but I will take what I can get. None of my pictures are stellar, back to bad fluorescent lighting and iffy shots, but I will deal.
And now, the countdown continues until Wednesday, the first day of school for preschool.
