school dayz

Carter goes once a week to a Mother's Day Out program at a local preschool. Their class meets on Tuesday 9am-2:20pm. It took several months for Carter to go to school without crying when we dropped him off. It was so bad at one point the teachers told us if they would say the word Mom or Mother while reading a book he would tear up. Now Carter walks in proudly carrying his backpack and lunch box. He blows me kisses and says bye-bye. His teachers say he's the best class participant.

So guess who went to school today? Mommy and Daddy! Carter's class invited parents to a "spring fling". We got to see what they do on a typical day at school.

*They do crafts (Carter's planting a sunflower seed)

*They play with toys (showing Daddy how the ball ramp works)

*They go on walks (somehow they get all the kids to hold onto a rope when they walk)

*They sing bible songs and read books

We left while the kids were having snacks. I imagine the rest of they day was filled with playing outside, eating lunch and taking a nap.

P.S. did I mention our big boy started using the potty? Yep that's right! We've been having Carter sit on the potty for a few of months now, but nothing would happen. All of a sudden the whole process clicked for him. For the last week he's been going pee-pee before bed, before his baths and when the gets up in the morning. He tells us 2 or 3 times during the day when he wants to go. He's even asked us to use the potty in public places like when we were out to dinner at a restaurant. We are so proud!
