Back to…Preschool

My friends (i.e. Tina & David) think our 5 year old is THE wittiest, THE funniest kid they’ve ever met but this is only because they are not exposed to very many 5 year olds who look and sound like a kid* from Lord of the Flies.

G:  (watching a commercial for a ‘Dance with me Baby’ doll)  “I DEFINITELY don’t want one of those!”

His preschool 5’s program started this week.  He had, in his words, “watery eyes” Monday morning but since then he’s gone in without looking back.  He talked about a Caroline (that’s CARO-line, not CARO-lynn) for quite a while last night and no, she’s not his teacher but he made a point of stopping by Mrs. Sharon’s classroom just to say hello and make sure her hair was down.

Most of Greyson’s friends are starting Kindergarten this year but it doesn’t seem to faze him so once again, I sweated a decision that meant more to me than it did to him.  So he’s the oldest kid in his class? I’d rather him be driving first than riding with the likes of a teenage driver like me.

It’s a quiet blog these days but the soon-to-be cooler temperatures will keep us off the boat and in the house with a little more time to draft…maybe. For now, we’re looking forward to a weekend visit from Carmen, Brian and the kids which includes a return visit to the Sound (whale watching), the Space Needle and Pike Place Market’s fresh fish. 

*know-it-all, argumentative, savvy, resourceful and independent (not murderous)
