"My Big School"

Lennox made a big move today to a "big school" as he calls it. After a lot of soul searching we decided that the school Lennox had been at since he was 16 months old was not working anymore. There were changes in staff, his classroom was so small, and he didn't seem engaged or happy. So mommy went on a hunt and we decided on a small church school by my work: St. John's Presbyterian Preschool. It is literally blocks away from mommy's work. It has been there for 50 years and we have been so impressed already. For the last few years daddy has been taking Lennox to school and mommy picks him up. But now mommy is doing both. It will take some getting used to, but I already enjoyed the time spent in the car this morning and afternoon as I dropped and picked him up. He is such a delight to be around and such a sweet face to spend time with in the morning before I head to work. 

Lennox is in the older three's room with two teachers. He has music three times a week and they do lots of art activities along with centers, reading time, and strengthening his fine motor skills. We have to take two snacks each day and I let Lennox pick them out. Today it was goldfish and applesauce:-) 

This morning was pretty rough. Lennox was a little teary when we left. I called three times during the morning to check on him and each time he was doing perfectly and fitting in well. When I picked him up at the end of the day he was out on the playground eating his afternoon snack. He was so excited to tell me all about his day. He brought home a small apple because they are learning about the fall. I am so proud of him and hoping tomorrow goes just as well for him :-)
