Buddy missed the school deadline by a few weeks (hooray!) so I get to keep him for another year... so the two of us are doing preschool on our own this year... we're using The Learning Box Preschool cirriculum that we used last year and then supplementing it with library day and the amazing preschool classes that Parks & Rec departments offers.
A lot of his little friends are going to Kindergarten to this year and he's sad that he's not going with them... but I'm excited for another year of fun and activities with him before I have to send him to school next year.
Tonight we did a "Back to School" dinner... we served it on lunch trays and Buddy got to pick the menu... nuggets, tater tots, peaches and turnover. He got new school supplies and I covered the table with white craft paper (that I bought at Ikea) and had a basket of crayons on the table so that we could draw during dinner.
After dinner we talked about our family theme for the new school year... "Kindness begins with me" and came up with a list of ways that we can be nice to our family, friends and everybody we meet. Joey gave Buddy a sweet blessing and its off we go for our 2013-2014 school year and I'm excited!
Isn't he ADORABLE... cute and sweet and everything that is wonderful in the world and I'm so grateful he is mine.
Happy new school year little man!
