Open House!

The open house for Preschool was Thursday morning. And you know it figures Bradley came down with what we thought was pink eye! Poor Bradley was so upset that he could not go. The preschool is very cautious this year about not spreading sicknesses. I do not blame them with the fear of anyone getting the swine flu. This year before you can even enter the classroom, we will need to apply antibacterial hand wash!

Parker went solo to the open house and met with his new teacher, and teacher's aid. The teacher's aid was so nice. She reminded me of a teachers aid I had back when I was in preschool. She had that older type grandma feel about her. She was real sweet and nice. I know Parker will get along great with her. I was very upset that Bradley will be in a classroom with eight girls. NO boys at all! Personally I don't think that is fair to Bradley. I mean, what will he play during playtime? Dolls? Bradley enjoys playing cars, and pretends to be a knight and sword fight. I just hope he does well.
Although the teacher told my husband and I that there will be a lot less playtime this year. They will be focusing on learning to write their names, and even having homework to do. I have high hopes that Bradley will do very well this year. Parker as well. Parker can already write half of his name. He does have a small attention span though. He does great for the first fifteen minutes, then he starts goofing off. Bradley on the other hand will try and try for as long as your willing to sit there and watch him. Although Bradley does get frustrated at times, and wants to give up. He gets really upset when he doesn't succeed.

Well, the boys first day of school is this upcoming Thursday. Brad and I will be dropping them off together, and I am hoping it goes well. Parker acts very afraid, and I am worried he will not do well without Bradley being by his side. Bradley on the other hand, I feel will be a little sad when mommy leaves, but will forget about being sad once he is given something to do. I guess we will just have to wait and see how they do!
