Yesterday marked a milestone for Jack: Preschool! I dropped him off at 7:30 and he didn't look back. When I went to pick him up after work, he looked at me and said, "but I'm not ready to go home yet." I love so much that he loves school. I hope to foster that love for the rest of his life. He wouldn't tell me much about his first day, except that he got to eat cereal for breakfast, he played with hundred of toys (that were all his favorites) and that he met a girl named Piper, who was not his cousin Piper. Oh, and he told Grandma Jodie that he learned about bugs and they are not scary (that one I got from eavesdropping on his phone call). His teacher, Ms Chris, also showed me where to look to see how he did for the day. He was one of six kids who got an orange "went above and beyond" card for the day!
When I dropped him off this morning, second day, mind you, he walked in and said, "look mom, there's Tom." He proceeded to quick walk to Tom to say good morning. Tom is the janitor. I couldn't help but have a proud mom moment, that he has already learned to be friends with everyone who works there!
Over the weekend, Jack also learned how to ride a two wheel bike with no training wheels. Milestones, people, milestones! I am watching this little boy grow up so quickly and it is making my heart ache a little bit. I want him to mature enough so that we can eat a quiet dinner without having to tell anyone to sit down, but I also want him to stay the size for cuddling for a little bit longer. I am not sure I am going to know what to do when he stops wanting to sit on my lap and just be for a little bit each day.
Since this week has been so huge for Jack, poor Annalee is feeling a bit jealous of everything. She and I are going to hit up the State Fair on Friday for a girls date and I am going to figure out something nice to do for her to calm those feelings. It is hard feeling like you are being left behind by your bigger brother, I guess! She is learning by leaps and bounds too, though and is just as spunky as ever. We lowered the seat on Jack's glider for her to use yesterday as he was biking, so she felt a little more like the group.
