Today I think was our final “first” in the preschool transition. Lex went from school to daycare. Sucessfully!! By that I mean no fighting and only minimal tears. We got to daycare around 11:20 and his group was playing outside until 11:30 while the younger group (Eve’s group) was inside eating lunch. Lex’s teacher told him to head outside and he just stood there crying, saying “I’m too tired, I’m just too tired.” She asked if he wanted to each lunch instead and he did. So he sat down with Eve’s group and ate some lunch then went and laid down for an early nap. I was very happy that the teacher was able to be flexible like that for him. I know it would have been a much uglier scene if she had tried to force him outside for those final 10 minutes. Yay for good teachers!! :)
At school today he went to his first assembly with the whole school. It was about wolves, because that’s the school mascot. He said it was fun and he also learned about Red-Tailed Hawks, which are very big. :) He also decided today, his 5th day of preschool, to participate in the drawing project. The past few days he has brought home empty pieces of paper with just his name printed on them, but today he was super proud to show me the two drawings he did and I was super proud that he did them!! See how nicely he’s writing his name these days too. Yay for Lex :)

I have to start posting about Eve again soon. She has been driving me crazy with her silliness and monsters and early rising. On that note, I need to go to bed soon. 5am comes early! I’ll post more on her soon.
