Zane goes to Preschool!

Do you remember that last post when my kids went to school and Zane was left there, standing all alone, no one to play with, but Mommy!

His days used to look like this, hanging out with Mom on the computer:



Now, thanks to my brother in law, he got into the daycare Preschool at Timpview High School. It's 3 days a week, and yeah, we have to drag him out of bed in the mornings, but he is loving it, and gets to go with his little cousin as well! What could be better?

I'm glad my sister got a picture of their artwork the 1st day. You know the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, will there be enough room? We found it hilarious, that Zane's page on the left, the letters are pasted everywhere, while his cousins on the right, was trying to get EVERY single one of those letters on the tree, just like the book is implying






Walking to the classroom first day of school (Zane on the right)







Pretty happy, don't you think?


New backpack we went to Ross to get:


And they do fun things like send them home with lifesize drawings of themselves with sunglasses (which Zane proceeded to break about 3 minutes later, glad we got the picture!)


So, while it adds even MORE carpooling to my schedule, I'm so glad he gets the opportunity to go there, they paint EVERY day, and the teacher student ratio is insane. There's probably more adults to children, as this is for their Childhood Education classes they teach at Timpview, and I think the kids there do a great job. They send home little notes each day about what they did in class, what songs, book, games, activities. It's great for all of us involved.

Did he cry his first day? YES, but it's been smooth sailing since. Oh wait, except that potty training issue. I need to get him to go poop on the toilet. I keep telling him he CAN'T poop in his pullups there. Shhhhhhh......he's supposed to be potty trained. Any recommendations, he just doesn't WANT to. I tried to force it the first day of school, and that backlashed on me really well. He won't enter a bathroom now, lol.

For Levi it was balloons. Levi is INFATUATED with balloons. If he went poopy in the toilet he got a balloon. If he missed......it was popped. Took only two balloons popping and he's made it ever since.

Funny. I think he is really traumatized...he won't go near the bathroom at our house either...

Today, Tane pooped in his pullup- told me nonchalantly that he had done it, and expected to be changed just like Zane. I told him, "Hell no! You are not going to be backtracking and pooping in your pull-ups!"

Maybe all little boys wish they could be so lucky as to poop with abandon whenever they wish, without disruption to what they would rather be doing.

I think we both have some work ahead of us. Good thing they both have 2 years till kindergarten.
