Miles started preschool on Thursday. He goes two mornings a week for 2.5 hours.
Vince was able to sneak away from his school on Thursday to join us for a celebratory lunch after Miles' first day. Miles picked Wendy's ("It's way better than fast food, mom.") and as we ate lunch we asked him about his first day. His classic kid response when asked what he did at school that day: "I don't know." It starts so young.
Oh, and here's a cute story from the first day....
We had to put together a “comfort kit” to keep at school in case of an emergency (extra clothes, snack, photos of the family, etc.). The kit was supposed to include a small toy, so I picked up a couple “Go Diego, Go” matchbox sized airplanes at the store on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Miles found them in the car that afternoon. He really wanted to play with them, so I let him have them for the evening but made sure he understood that they would go to school the next morning for his emergency bag.
On Thursday morning as we got ready to go to his first day I loaded his “comfort” bag into his backpack and he asked about the planes. I reminded him that they are only for an emergency. As we drove to school that morning he declared from the back seat, “Mom, I need my planes. It’s an emergency!”
