school preview

What a growing up moment we had today! He went on a field trip with the other 'graduating' preschoolers to the elementary school. They rode a school bus and toured the kindergarten classes, had a snack in the lunchroom, met several teachers, and had a wonderful time. I was substituting for another teacher so I didn't get to see him board the bus, but I happened to be out on the playground when they got back and saw his smiling face as he got off the bus. Only three more weeks of preschool for us, and then he'll be getting ready for school. Sigh.

I know that he can take care of himself at school. He knows how to ask the right questions of the right people. Yesterday at Books-A-Million, I lost him for a minute and then found him up at the service desk asking the cashier for their "cheapest Optimus Prime stuff". He was busy doing a computer search for Dennis when I walked up. I had just told Dennis that the Optimus he'd asked for was too expensive (because I'd just seen it for $2 less at Target). I think he's just amazing!

Tonight he finished his AWANA Cubbies program, earning all the patches he could possibly earn in 2 years by memorizing over 60 bible verses. It's getting hard to say goodbye to his "little boy" years, but maturity is fast approaching!
