firsts day

After the lovely lazy day we spent yesterday, we were back to the serious grind today. Dennis and I had our first day of preschool for the day. He says he had a great time, loves his new teacher, and loved reuniting with some of his good buddies from last year as well as making some new friends. I had a good day as well, getting to know my 8 tiny charges. They are so quiet compared with last year's bunch, and they seem SO young! It was a good day--no tears of much significance. After lunch (my class dismissed at 11:30), I kept the 5 Afternoon Care kids, playing with them in the gym, and wishing they might nap instead of all lying on their Kinder Mats and gossiping!

We celebrated a special evening in Dennis' honor tonight, a back-to-school dinner at the restaurant of his choosing (San Marcos), taking the car of his choice (the Blazer), sitting in the chair of his choice (the red one), ordering the meal he wanted (chicken fingers), and then shopping at Walmart to look at whatever he wanted. He reveled in his decisions, listing all the choices he'd made, so proud of his power! And we came home with a new Transformer to celebrate.

I've been banished to my room so that he and Daddy could have "Men's Night". Works for me! It's nice to have some kid free time after today!
