preschool

Tomorrow (Wednesday) preschool starts for the two big Bugs.  Last Friday we had "Open School," which is when the parents go to preschool with their child(ren) for 40 minutes to meet the teacher, become familiar with the classroom,etc.  Last year The Bugs' Daddy took off work to go with Bugman because I had just started school.  This year we both got to go since I am home and he took a vacation day. 

Bugman's time was first and he was excited to go back to school and to see his best friend from Miss Kim's house the past three years.

He met his teacher, and in true Bugman fashion said exactly zero words to her the whole time.

He also introduced us to the school pet, Coco (the guinea pig), who isn't allowed out of her cage when the kids are there because "she gets scared."

He quickly found his bestie and they sat together, played together, and stood in line together all morning.

Everyone also got a hug from Mrs. W's puppet (whose name I don't remember.)

Of course during playtime there were plenty of blocks and cars to be investigated.

We made a quick trip home to feed Benny and switch preschoolers and then it was back to school with our new preschooler!

Our second round didn't go quite as smoothly as the first one.  Kel-bug is VERY nervous about starting preschool.  He has Bugman's teacher from last year, who he already knows from dropping Bugman off last year.  We are hoping that this will help his transition, because we anticipate tears tomorrow at drop-off.
